The farm fields are now off limits till fall and possibly next spring if the hunters get in the way:(. So I headed to some sites from the last two summers. Got a 57 GW(not pictured) and the hammered silver dime at an old ball field. Found a rosie at an old church in a short hunt Sunday night.

Tonight I hit the silver Pomander site for only thesecond time this year. Some early buttons, my first old nickel this year:dontknow: and Blanch lost her ring. The interesting item is some sort of vessel(pitcher?) with a floral design on it. Well whats left of it. It appears to made out of a tombac like material. I dont think it is silver as it rings in very low and Im guessing colonial based on the design, material and the depth it was found at

I like that little pitcher. Looks like its made of pewter and from a set of toy dishes. Here's a couple of similar items I found years ago.

Well done Toasted!

Is that a dogwood blossom on the toy pitcher? If so, that's the NC state flower, and that item needs to be returned to NC.

Best of luck to you!
