Inside all day yesterday and the rain broke for a hour or 2 so I went and lucked up!

Metal Detecting
They had the St Patrick Day Parade today and they was blocking the entrance to a old park that I’ve gotten some things out of, so I was forced to go to a property a mile away that I got permission to detect. They demolished the house already, but before that even I never found as much as a wheatie but mostly Zincolns. It a big property, a whole block, so between the area of the demolished house and the saturated area I detected a high spot that I would have never detected before. Well I hit a interesting honey hole.

Between some modern clad I pulled out a 1908 V Nickel unbelievable!!! Then I went over a gold plated back to a pocket watch. I was getting very very muddy wet clay is the worst, but then I came across some silver!!! What looks to be a silver beret with PAT.APD.FOR in the inside. Then I hit this little beauty a sterling silver something with FLORENCE inscribed on the bottom. On the from and back in the crease it says sterling it there. I think I might see some groove where something screwed on the round part on top but not sure. Any idea what the could be? Thank you so much for looking!!

Not seeing the back I get the feeling it is one of two things. I ladies lapel pin or something that was attached to the outside of a small jewelry box?
 

Here’s the back and front...

Dang - I thought you were talking about the "Florence" piece! :laughing7: This piece - looks like an ornate draw handle (PROVIDING the top part swivels)?

Sterling is always good to come home with.
