Hello everyone. It looks as though I’ve got almost everything out of the lot I’ve been working. I was able to find a few things along with a head scratcher.
The head scratcher is what appears to be a Soviet piece. I have no clues what it is or what the inscription says. Any help would be appreciated.
I also dug a period flat button and a couple cast brass square nails. I believe they are period to the 1820s. Also the extra small 4 hole flat flower button.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all.

Started with a Minelab X-Terra 505 with stock coil or 18.75khz elliptical coil depending upon the site. Upgraded to Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances.

It looks like cyrillic alphabet but not Russian that I can tell. lso if you flip the image so it isn't mirrored you'll notice the sickle opens to the right. Not like anything I've seen on USSR stuff, I have a large Soviet propaganda collection. The third element after the hammer and sickle I'm not sure what it is. North Korea uses a paint brush in addition to the hammer and sickle. I'm stumped like you. Not sure if there is a convention on which way the sickle opens.

I don't think it's Hebrew - it's either Russian or Greek, some kind of Cyrillic script....but looks backwards in the pic.
I'm 100% certain it's not Russian, doubt very much it's Greek. Here"s the Hebrew alphabet, you can see the similarities
