Old fishing reel, home made silver ring, button, pewter, crotal bell

[Bodkin]

More recent things I found but haven't had time to post.
2 pieces of "Genuine Pewter"
Old fishing reel found near the pewter on the edge of a brook.
Found this home mead silver ring that was fashioned out of a 1942 US. Quarter. It had a little silver plate, although snapped off, I also found in the hole. It seems it had something attached to the prongs that were on it, maybe a stone or another coin, who knows.
Found this button directly out a building I work in. Always threatened to work this little chunk of woods and finally did. I still can't figure out why it was where I found it.
Ahhh... my little crotal bell. Love this thing!
Found all with my Equinox 800, park 2 setting, 6" coil (love this coil!). Thanks for looking.

I like the coin ring! Definitely looks like a DIY project from back in the day.

It is not a fishing reel or a pencil sharpener. It is a retractable clothes line. Now you can hang your tighty whiteys out to dry.

How big are those pieces of pewter? How old? Looks great but all the better if the photo has something for scale.

Yeah.., sorry about that. I have no idea about the age of these. The "Genuine Pewter" stamped on the bottom of both is rather crude and no matter how I tried I couldn't get a good picture of that. The "cup" is actually cup size. I would say a normal 8 oz. coffee cup. Maybe it was a little sugar bowel or something and was supposed to have a top? At first I thought they were silver but was able to find the pewter mark on the bottom. If you or anybody out there has any info I would love to hear it. I seem to find a lot of varied items while detecting and there's no way for me to focus on just one of them. I'm learning though and for me that's the other half of this hobby. Thanks!

That coin made into a ring is really cool and that looks like a nice flat button and of course the crotal is awesome. Nice finds!
