A birds beak in my scoop with a fishing lure along with some jewelry

[Hawks88]

Just got in after another morning hunt at a local lake erie beach. I put my Equinox away for a few days and took out my trusty Gold bug pro. First hit was a rather large lure for around here. 5 1/2" long with the name Viper on it. View attachment 1626258 along with a birds beak View attachment 1626259 in the same scoop. I found 2 belly button hanging rings. (non precious metal) View attachment 1626260View attachment 1626261and a lever thingy with a hole in it. I still don't know what its for and any help would be appreciated with thanks. View attachment 1626262View attachment 1626263View attachment 1626264 also 2-2$ coins, 1-1$ coin, 9 quarters, 2 dimes, 3 nickels and 3 pennies. thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Any chance we can see a closeup of both sides of the birds beak?

Might post the “beak” on an artifact forum . Pretty sure that’s a bone sewing needle.

Thanks for the detail pics.
This is a very interesting find here.
Do you have any idea what species it might be?

The lack of nostril holes, means it could only possibly be a lower beak if thats what it actually is.
And while the groove that runs the length, looks somewhat right for a lower beak, most lower beaks ive seen are open in the middle.
Its got me very curious...

Great Find.. VERY Interesting..
