[Old River]

Just a few of the finds I made in Mississippi. The silver buckle, and the gold color buckle with the M on it was found above an old rotted down log cabin.
Found the pin in a crack in the upstairs floor in a house on Pascagoula river that was there during the CW. Have no idea what the pin is for.

Is that a skeleton holding a scythe? And a court jester next to him? That is one of the coolest pins I've seen dug. you need to post a better scan, and get these boys here find out what it was made for. Cool stuff!

You are right about the skeleton, and the juster. I tried to get a better scan, but it just didn't work. Between the justers head, and the scythe there is a date 1868, below at the botton is 1913. There are cross swords on it also. If for some reason I can get a better picture I will post it. I found in crack in the floor of an old pre civil war house.
