LAST Minute HUNT Yields CHURCH Coin - Please Help ID Whatsit

[Michigan Badger]

Okay, I decided the last minute today to go to a church yard I've hunted many times over the years.

Not 20 feet from where I dug that cache of valuable lumber era tokens last year I dug this church coin. For a second I thought I had another David Ward token! I can get $100 each for those.

Oh well, it's not worth any money but a find is a find. It sure seemed good to see that round old looking shape in the hole again!

But the question I have is what is that "Lowney" thing? I know it's broke off something but what?

I also dug some old shells and a clad dime.

The photo of the dug church coin is the real thing. The coin fell into the hole and I set it back into the exact spot where it was seated.

Thanks,

Badger

I think it belonged to a Hebrew named Tim. Am i close?

That lowney thing looks like the end of a spoon or fork? And Lowney might be the family's last name?

Gee, I don't know FREE. I'll start calling every Tim Lowney in the phone book and let you know.

I was thinking maybe it was some sort of spoon or fork?

It could be.

Wow! I have never seen a coin like that before, is it brass or copper? Clean it up a bit & I bet someone would give a bit of cash for it on ebay. Congrats, very cool find!

I think it's brass, Mighty. And I dug it with one of your handmade digging tools!

That digger is sweet!

This looks like your spoon (eBay #7242190799). There's a little history there about it too.

WOW!! Do you know what that handle is to?!!!! You should have kept digging because thats the handle to the spoon that rests within the HOLY GRAIL !!!
Not many people are aware that the Holy Grail is actually a Banana Split boat. If you would have dug a little more you could of had the complete set.
I guess the Holy Grail is lost to humanity again. But maybe some day it will be rediscovered.
We can only hope.

Cool finds!! WTG!! HH
