Maybe someone didn't pay their bill and the doctor punched part of their false teeth out?

I think I would rather have not found those!!!!!

That's a creepy find. I'd be scared that the rest of the skull might be nearby. Sorry, can't help dating them.

I see that it has a post on it. I wonder if they use that kind of Technology back that far. That may be a good place to start your research finding out when they started using pins

It appears you've been hunting cemeteries again.

Really cool find!

Is the metal silver or gold ?
It doesn't look like either.
Can you clean it up some ?
Any idea of what the false tooth is made of ?
Porcelain or bone ?
I'm guessing a relatively modern find because of the post on the tooth which should be surgical grade stainless steel.
I doubt Doc Holiday would be performing implants or root canals back in his time of primitive dentistry.

You found my teeth haha

I agree with Relic Lover. That post could be a clue to the age. You may try something as simple as asking a dentist, instead of internet research. I bet a lot of them would know dental history.
