And so i have been out again, i did not have so much time but i am in a new site now and i did just search a few minutes and i maneged to find this, it have now officially beat my personal record for oldest coin, 1 Öre 1901, and my first 1Kr Silver. :laughing9:

I have no idea what the last object is but it look really old, i have placed a coin that is the 1 Öre but its size is close tho the 1 cent so any ideas or maby know what it is please tell me!

First pic: junk

Second pic: Key, a peace of a buckle and a toy Star? with W/W (Wild west)

Third and fourth pic: The 1 Öre 1901 and 1Kr Silver 1945.

And the last: I don't know?

That's a very cool Silver. Like I've said before, its nice seeing these Northern European silvers that you don't get to see very often. Congrats on your beating your oldest coin :headbang: :icon_thumleft: :wink:

Silver is sweet where ever in the world you can find it ! Argentium.

Last picture is a lead-alloy horse boss (Rosette), horse harness decoration from the 18th - 19th century. It should have 2 missing attachments on the reverse (often iron).

http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=18384&cat=all

I looked at the object, but i don't find any attachments on the back, its some sort of a layer on it, i did take a needle and gently tried to See if it is anything under the layer but it isn't? The object has a damage on the end from the shuffle, and i did scrape it and it is looking shiny, like silver? Tho it cant be iron? and if it would be iron should it not be rusty? I will try to post a new pic but from the back tomorrow. This is fun!! Thx again for the interst u show!!! :hello2:

Never said it was iron, its a type of pewter (lead-alloy), the attachments are normally iron. (some were plated/gilt) When you picture the reverse we will see a couple of scar marks.
 
The first picture of junk appears to have a ring in it. What is the composition of the ring? I'm surprised you would call it junk.

Good finds overall. Any silver found is a good day of hunting.
 
Very interesting finds TSH! The "horse harness decoration"
in the last picture is really cool, looks very old. :icon_thumright:

I must say i did take a needle and gently pick on its left side, so the square that's darker is not an mark, tho it went almost right thru the object.

The reverse picture shows the 2 fixing points I was talking about, so 100% its a horse boss.

Only broadly by its construction which is most likely mid-late 1700s.
