Cleaning Finds from last Fall...

[xlt nh]

Decided to go through some finds in the garage that I dug last year and let pile up....I'd rather dig than clean..

This little Colonial Button with a flower motif was a nice surprise....check out the gold guilt still left on it after 200yrs.

Also this little bell...could me my oldest to date and has the pea. Makes a nice sound, and was packed with the hair of the animal that wore it...thought that was strange... Any ideas on it's age

And last, a nice little broach...looks to be Victorian Era with 4 small and 1 large Turquoise stones. It's very ornate..no maker's marks.

After my day of cleaning I'm ready to dig!!!!!! Spring can't get here fast enough...

Coins dug are an 1864 IH (no 'L') and a 1918 Merc.

I have no idea what the item is in the lower right....it's a round item with a stem?? Any Ideas??

Also...anyone have any idea what the age is on the little bell? It's the first of it's kind I've dug or have seen dug in this area...

Thanks in advance!!

Nice digs! If I can't get out then it's "almost" as much fun to clean and research the finds!

Egyptian motif in design. Maybe silver.
