My first barber dime and some quarry finds

johnnyblaze · Apr 4, 2011

Did a little roaming in the woods today.Found some buttons and a 1858 flying eagle penny.
Also found a ornate whatzit..
1906 barber dime and a really nice nail.
Anyone know what that ornate thing is :dontknow:

Its really thin and looks like it could have been a giant thimble..Its 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 crushed..

It looks like a crushed Childs cup there may have been more to it at one time.I found one that looks close to yours.Mine still had the handle on it ,and was flattened also.
