1833 Capped Bust Dime! And an absolute mystery of a piece??? HELP!

[testing123]

Got back to a place that's yielded 7 coppers previously, but hadn't given up silver... until today! Started out with a few buttons but haven't even had a chance to check them out yet. Earlier in the hunt I got a shallow target signal. What came out was something I've never seen before. In fact, I can't even imagine what it could be used for. It looks to be copper or brass and only gave it a light toothbrushing. That top loop turns, and that half moon part moves. There are two circular pieces that looked to have originally moved freely on a bar (one's now frozen). Any idea what it could be

Later in the hunt as thunder started coming in I got a junk signal but it had a high pitch on one angle. Figured the worst that could happen was a nail would come out and decided to dig it. Once it was out of the hole the pitch changed... it was a silver tone!! Took an absolute horrific video which I might post, but it's bad all the way around. Wasn't sure what it was at first, but soon realized it was a capped bust dime! Unfortunately the reverse rim got a little scrape on it, and it's stained. BUT, it's still capped bust silver!!

It was identified as a JR-5, which is an R1.

Great looking Dime, and the first thing that comes to mind on the other item is a spinner watch fob, or what would hang off a watch chain.

Nice dime. I don't see anything wrong with the color of it, (stained as you say) I would probably lighten it a little.

WOW, that is a gorgeous dime, mystery piece almost looks like some kind of baby's toy/ mobile, reminds me of a couple of old broach's I have found so far. Probably is some kind of jewelry. Congrats, nice finds!

My thoughts exactly, possible glass piece broken out if it that spun inside. It has the look of early fobs to me
