Rare Provincial Silver and a Mystery Cross!

[romeo-1]

Got out for 7 hours of swinging on 2 well hunted site...but not hunted out by any means! Find if the day for me was the 1862 New Brunswick 5 cent...in well circulated condition but with only a total of 100,000 minted it will be a welcome first in my collection! Also found a couple LARGE coppers and some assorted bits and bobs. The crudely made cross is a bit of a head scratcher. I'm told it could be a knife pommel but I really have no idea...will have to do some research! Fun day...thanks for looking!

Your cross may be part of a wax seal fob? Missing its stone/glass...great hunt, congrats. Sub

Looks like a Fleur de lis. Being from New Orleans I love it.

I agree that your Fleur de lis might have been a wax seal - your 5c is also known as a "fish scale"

Definitely get the feeling that was a wax seal, nice finds
