Finds of the Day

[Viking]

Hi all
Was running around in the woods again today and found some things that i have no idea what they are.

1) An Ax (what it is for one and how old=No idea)
2)Think they are hinges for a leather purse (Think its copper,How old=no idea)
3)Copper star of some sort (=no idea)
4) Funny thing with two rings on the end (Friend of mine thinks it maybe Roman or Celtic=no idea)
5)Copper coin ( 1 Bavaria Pfenning 1825)=Some idea. :P

Kind of funny.I go out looking for ww2 relics and i find this stuff.I think im doing somthing ass backwards here.
I hope some of the European Pros can help me identify some of these things.

Greetings from Germany.

No. 2 - 1800s purse bar bits
No. 3 - Star is a belt or leather decoration
No. 4 - is a strap junction for a horse harness and is Medieval 1300-1500.

I found a copper star almost exactly like that down in Biloxi, MS. I found it in a vacant lot next to some homes that were built in the late 1800's. This may be from a similar era. I don't know what it is either. Hope you find out.

Interesting finds Viking! That copper coin is in very nice condition. I have also found a few of those star looking decorations that Crusader IDed and I was never sure what they were but I did suspect they were a decoration of sort, they are very thin. Did you happen to recheck the hole where you found that purse bar? May be something else there like a gold or silver coin, LOL, it is possible. Axehead looks interesting, maybe for debarking a tree, surely not for splitting wood. HH, Mike

Thanks for the info CRUSADER
I know alot about German ww2 relics,but anything older than the 1800s i have no idea.

@Mike
Im happy with the coin,but i wish i could finally find some Silver.All im finding (when it happens) is copper.
I did recheck the hole when i dug the purse bar bits,No signal.Do you think i should have dug deeper anyway.At the time i didn´t know it was part of a purse.

@And to the rest.Thx for the posts

P.S. Sry some of the Pix are to big.
