It Pays

[XP-Man]

Earlier this summer I found a dog tag and inside it there was a name and a number. what is it - YouTube I end up returning it to the owner and I gained permission from her to hunt her property. Her house was built in the 50s but it was built on a site we're home from the 1800's once sat. I had a fun day with alot of cool relics. I ended up with 12 wheats 1913 1916 and 4 1919 and some late 50s wheats 2 Rosie's. I found like 87 cents in clad. Once i found where the house used to site i started pulling up the relics. First was the Ball Mason Lid then this heavy ornate relic.

I posted it on a few sites to see if any one can ID but no luck. I Had a blast this morning. I know there is older coins there I was hoping for a Indian or older Silver. I mainly worked the front of her home. Ill be back later this fall. The husband walked around with me and talked to me about all this history. He showed me a bucket of flint he found and about 100 arrow heads he has surfaced found in the field. Then he tells me about the woods next to his home used to be a trading post there and a cemetery with no headstones.

The rectangle piece might be an ornate mail slot lid. About the right size. Any hinge provisions on the corners? Sounds like you have a really good permission. BOL, HH.

Your description of the property and finds so far has me drooling over that site. I would RUN, not walk down to where the trading post was located and poke around there a bit.

Nice recoveries!

That ornate rectangular piece. . . if it's silver it could have some relationship to the trading post you mentioned.
It wouldn't hurt to post that in the "Fur Trade" forum as well. It could be a trade piece.

Maybe some type of brooch? Any place where a pin might have attached?

That white ceramic thingy you mentioned is the lid of an old Mason jar.
