👁1897-S Barber Quarter👁 Today's finds

So I went to a new location this morning hoping to beat the heat! We are preparing for over 100° today and I don't like to roast hunting! Got about three hours in at a 1865 church.
I found my second silver today! It's so weird I go over a year without any silver and loads of clad coins and find two silvers within a week!! Any who about three inches down was this 1897 Barber right next to a clad change spill 2 Quarters,dime and a penny! Also in the same hole was this weird reel deal with gears? If any one knows what it is please enlighten me!
I also found this star pin, if any one knows what it is please enlighten me!

I also finally figured out how to upload a picture to this site right side up lol! Maybe because I have IOS...

Thanks for looking HH

Nice barber

Nice quarter and the other object appears to be a small clock movement. Probably an old alarm clock.

Pin looks a lot like a Blue Star Service lapel pin, except it should have a red border. Older variety maybe? Nice finds, always love to find a Barber.

Glad to read that you have been kicking butt on your silver drought! I found my first Barber quarter not too long ago, and it was a sweet, sweet feeling! Congratulations, and good luck on your future hunts.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking I cannot find nothing about it just the typical Bluestar white field red border? Not sure. HH

Great recoveries! Barbers are always a nice addition to the pouch.

Your lapel pin looks vintage WWII for a Son or Daughter in the military service.
I have one similar (with a red border) that belonged to my grandmother's cousin (WWI)

Hey welcome and thanks for the reply but The blue Star Service pin has a red border. I did a little research on the clasp and a C clasp originally dated from around the 1890s up until early 1900's. But that's all I found I wish I knew! HH
