Finally got the go-ahead on another yard I have been waiting for. I need to work this site over and over because of how old it is. The injuns were hiding from me today so I didn't find any of those, but did get a 2 center in great condition. My favorite find was the key ring full of skeleton keys. They aren't the brass ones but still kind of fun to dig. The seal has patent dates in the early 1900's, oldest wheat was '28. Also got another bridal rosette, I think this is about the 4th one I have found. Need a little help on some ID's. Would like to know some info on the Support with Distinction pin. I don't think it is real old because of the condition but still interested. Would like to know what the item in the last picture is. Also, I finally found one of these old spoons (I think pewter) in a little more complete condition. I usually find pieces of these while field hunting. I would like to know what these spoons date. I think I read one time that these are early 1800's but would like to verify. Thanks again for looking.

Congrats on some excellent finds. Pewter Spoons for some reason are hard to get in one piece. In 20 years I only got one complete one and broke it getting it out of the hole ! The 2 center is Fantastic, Good Job

those two centers always seem to come out looking pretty good for some reason . I don't know why. I have two and both are very readable and in good shape.
