A Little Silver in the Pit

[MuckyBottles]

Well, actually it wasn't the cellar pit per se, unfortunately by an act of god, went to the location and the cellar pit I was working in became a muddy mess. Anyhow, on the outskirts of the pit, there is a dump of a whole bunch of stuff, bottles, iron, etc. and the plus side, its no deeper than 8 inchs...
Before I get to the good stuff, I just want to give an overview of what I found today..Unfortunately, still no coinage which is surprising given the other crap I have found.

A bunch of Iron, buckles and other stuff



Some unique items..

"Pat.App.For" For what?


Little sterling silver never hurt nobody..


Two Nickel-Silver spoons


Big casing without a Primer nor any tell tale markings



All in 6 hrs of work..
