Had a pretty good day yesterday. My buddy found a shaving razor and another button. I found an intact spoon which makes 2 found at this spot. Any info on these 2 items would be great. The button is gold plated and the design is nice! Thanks folks! IMG_1661.webpIMG_1663.webpIMG_2881.webpIMG_0159.webp
 

The item in your hand is either a screwdriver missing the wooden handle or as Ant said a chisel, missing handle.The part above the collar is the tang which would have been in the handle.

I'm thinking screwdriver.

We thought it might be a screwdriver as well. Glad to hear a confirmation there. As for the button Ant, when you say "modern", how recent are you suggesting? I ask because we have found nothing other than miners items at this location. Heres the shaving razor (at least I think it is being as sharp as it still is) found there. The spoon is in the truck so I'll post a pic of it later. Can't wait to go back!

It's definitely a straight razor. No question
