I did a two day marithon to end my year. The first day 12-30 I ended up digging 210 coins a 61d and 39 dime 18 wheat's and a mytery silver piece. It says taxco and is made by Francisco Rivera and has a 950 mark. All so I dug a very interesting little spike. I think it might be masonic? What are they? I need all you relic geniuses to chime in and help me on these! The second day 12-31 I dug 98 coins a 1945d war nickle and part of a bracelet. I'm not sure of the age of the bracelet piece but I dug it in the same area I found the spike and other very old stuff. Thanks for any help Happy new year and Happy hunting!

Great finds! That silver mystery piece is really strange. Does it look the same on the other side? Obviously some kind of jewelry, but wish I knew what! The little stake thing.... maybe C I Company or I C Company? Would you bring those to the next club meeting? Want to see them!

Don't know what it is, but it aint Masonic.
 

Sorry I'm replying to an older post but I found this the other day. Yours is better shape but they are alike. My 'what is it' forum post is at Odd spike with flattened, button like top
Someone said it looks like a golf ball marker. Thats the best guess I've received. I'm really interested in the emblem, it has alot of stuff going on and surely means something.
