Russwin key, IHP, V and Buffalo nickels, buttons and an old pin!

My 1858 permission continues to produce! Check out the pics!

I would love everyone's opinion on the pin - perhaps shaped like a pig? I have no idea what the 'cutout' area is ...

The pen has pics of two people and the cut out seperates them. The one on the right looks to have a sword in his right hand.

Good eye! It took me a while to see that. Looks like a woman with a stick (probably a stick and not a sword) on the right chasing a man on the left. The legs and feet are very rotund and the woman is wearing an apron. I found an old enameled pin with a not unsimilar motif with a man and woman. Looks like something brought in from Europe. German/Holland comes to mind. Ca early 1900s is my guess. Nice find.

Nice finds and an interesting pin! The soil was not good to those coins... they have all seen better days.

Congrats on the old coin recoveries!

I think they are little Dutch kids.

I believe the sheppardess is right. Looks like they are wearing clogs. A similar pin I found years ago looked to be about the same age and had a colorful motif with what looked like two Dutch kids too. LMK know if you find out more about it.

That was what I was going to say. Dutch girl with a stick chasing a dutch boy.

Good take!
Ironically, I found a 1928 10 cent coin from the Netherlands yesterday afternoon at this site!

Congrats on some nice finds.

No irony--that's provenance . That's the right time frame for the pin...early 1990s.
