Antlers silver and id help needed Thanks

[gold panner]

These are my other weekend finds from shed hunting and metal detecting. Some fresh moose antlers which i found six total. I also hit some old cellar holes and managed to find some buckles and I believe an ornate rosette? but I am not sure any help identifying would be appreciated and if at all possible a time period. I found the rosette? at a cellar hole that was on the 1858 map. The two silver coins are from a local park.

A couple more of the antlers. Treasure is in the eye of the beholder

pretty cool, what may be plain or ordinary in one area may be a treasure in another. around here, moose sheds are extremely rare

 

[gold panner]

Yeah not many moose in Ark. They are also worth a lot more then most silver coins

Awesome job.. How heavy are the antlers?

5-15 pounds apiece they end up selling for 12-20 dollars a pound.

I assume the plated rosette is lead filled back with 2 iron stains where the fixing was?

That sounds right crusader. Any idea on age?

Those moose sheds are awesome! I find a ton of whitetail sheds in PA but we don't have moose so sadly that goal has not yet been met. I want to get one some day and paint something on it for my man cave. congrats on the finds, but as others said, those sheds are the top finds!

Yes, these Harness Mounts are generally considered to be late 18th C.

I like the coins and rosette, but the moose sheds are really sweet.

I am from the South, and mooses (meese, as we call them) are quite rare here, I can't even remember the last time I saw one in the woods.

Best of luck to you sir!
