Thanks for the info on the aerospace application because I couldn't find the number referenced in the usual searches. I think it was more of a dump site because I found 5 mother boards (old) and a metal circuit board with the metal one having numbers that trace back to aerospace applications. The boards were used for target practice so probably not a crash site. It seems like everywhere you go people shoot everything here. The condition of the boards would have me guessing they have been out there for many years. Thanks again for your help.

well that's cool. did you ever match any of the other stuff to specific vehicles? depending on what it is, that sort of item might have more value as a collectible. not likely, but possible. Personally I'd hang on to it until I found out exactly what it was.

you might want to find out if you had any aerospace related companies, avionics companies for example, that were nearby, then find if any retired engineers still around.

I did match one to a specific vehicle. I'm still doing some research on it. Thanks for pointing out some different interesting things to keep an eye out for, there are definitely some unusual things out in the desert.
