Another relic day but at least a smile

[WHADIFIND]

Thought I'd go for another "fix". I figured
I'd go for a good long walk, maybe 4-5 hours.

I lasted exactly 1.5 hours.

Why? Cuz the area I was searching had frozen up
overnight.

I mean, I couldn't but barely get the shovel started!
Then, I had to rock it back and forth just to gain
enough leverage to break off chunks! Too blamed much work!

Anyway, I did get a smile out of my "misfortune".



I was wondering what Blingie was up to.



I think that Blingie can "smell" shiny!! LOL



Did I mention the ground was frozen?





I think Fishy might be confused?



The "smile" was actually all bent around and was a
blamed devil to get it free from the ice block. It's
the main reason I gave up.

When I finally got it out I just figured, some sort of
gauge from some farm machine. Maybe it is but the characters
on it seem strange.




At first glance, I thought that was a "C.S." !!!
But, in person, it's easy to see that it's
actually a Cent symbol and a Dollar symbol.
Brass/Copper/Gold....

Oh well, longer walks are coming.
Feel free to speculate.

And thanks for peeking!

That's a cool find in more ways than one.

Congratualtions on getting out and going for a walk!

 

[WHADIFIND]

Thanks folks!
Guess I'll need to post it in the "What is it?" forum? :don't know:

Poor Fishy. 😞 Could that be part of some kind of scale?

 

[sandchip]

Damned cool piece, whatever it is.

 

[texjim]

Neat find. Bring a pick axe next time.

No idea what that smile thingy is but , I am glad you chiseled it free from the ice. Darn cool looking piece mate. Post pics in What Is It and get an I'D. Excellent short hunt.

Looks like part of a balance or scale the type that you would hang. Nice find!!!!
