Non ferrous farm property find

Found in Michigan, United States. Appears to be made of brass or bronze. The wide end has a small hole, it is threaded inside. Narrow end also has a hole, does not appear to be threaded. The square on the narrow end is not 1/4" drive, it's a little larger. Any ideas?

Wearing a burqa while flying

My dermatologist told me that I'm at a higher risk for skin cancer, now that I am flying quite a bit as a CFI, I want to protect myself from the sun as much as possible. Also I don't like sunscreen.

As a student, would you be weirded out if your CFI wore burqa (think a dress that covers your head too)?

Outbacker antenna mount

I got this Outbacker Antenna with a lot of equipment I bought. It appears to be an 80 - 10 meter model. It didn't come with a mount and the company doesn't appear to have any manuals on their website. I would like to use this antenna to try doing POTA from my vehicle. I don't intend to drive the vehicle with the antenna installed. Any suggestions on what sort of mount would work with this? If there's something magnetic that would be fantastic as I might want to be able to use a couple different vehicles for it. I'm not sure how the ground plane works for this type of antenna.

Unknown find

I recovered this on a farm property in Michigan, United States. It seems like solid metal, threads at one end. It has layers of rust Iike it has been in the ground for a long time. Any guesses?

"Pain Expeller" medicine bottle

I'm a metal detectorist and found this while digging for a target. It is from an old farmhouse site in Michigan, United States. Any information on it would be appreciated. Thanks!

DJB VOR

Does anyone know the origin of the name of Dryer VOR? That's one I can't figure out. Most of them that aren't obvious have a small town nearby with the same name. I've looked at current maps and old maps of the area and I can't find anything.

New and different find

From what I can tell this is from the late 60s to mid 70s. Found on a family property in Michigan. One of the uncles in that family apparently made the most of that era.
