1800's finds & ID Help (Possibly my last post for a while)
With the forecast calling for temps in the teens for next week I don't think I will be getting out much.
I spent some time earlier in the week searching the forest for an old mill. Late in the afternoonm after about 2 hours of searching I found what I think were the remains of the mill, which shows up on maps from the 1850's. I found the number "6" sleigh bell, which is, from what I can tell by the type of grommet hole, is definitely mid-1800's, and this other object. I think it is pewter. It read just above the nickel reading.
The other thing looks like part of a garment to me, maybe part of a cloak? Any help with ID on this smaller item is greatly appreciated.
I will be returning to the site as soon as the thaw comes.
