Cellar hole find

Any clue what the top iron thing in the photo? The bottom slender thing is unknown to me as well looks like it could been large needle?? IDK. Found a few flat buttons as well only with a design. HH Dutch

Beautiful buttons. Hopefully Dan, Bill or Steve will see this and know. Did I say beautiful buttons yet?

Thanks for sharing...

I believe the piece in the foreground (in front of the buttons) is a marrow scoop, which is pretty cool.

Can you tell what it is made of?

The top piece looks like a broken scythe handle. The half circle would have been a complete ring that slid down over the main shaft. It would have had a wooden handle that fit over the long piece with the end of the iron bent over to hold the wooden handle on.

Looks to be made of iron. Same metal as of the square nails I'd say.

Not a marrow scoop then. (I was thinking it might have been crusty pewter)
