She's finally winding down!

[Bryan1776]

I was able to get one more hunt in at the big old house and pulled two more Mercury's and some clad, but did find this cool token "no idea what its for " and this long brass piece. about 7" long. I thought it might be a letter opener, but I thought it was to small. Anyone have suggestions on what it might be?
1925 1940 is the dates on the Mercs!

Looks like something my dentist would have in his arsonel when I was a kid nice job on the silver it does resemble a letter opener

I don't see why it can't be a letter opener but there are some guys on here that are great at ID's. Grats on a successful hunt and good luck next time out.

Congrats on the interesting finds!

Nice finds. Congrats. I think it is a letter opener.

That token is way cool! Does it say Bridge Maker .. Dayton on it?

 

[Scrappy]

Define “winding down”? I see all high signal finds on your post. I hope you plan on digging the mid and low tones too.

Cool letter opener.

It could also be a book page marker. Check the top to see if there would be a place to slip it over a page. Otherwise, I would go with letter opener. Congrats on your silvers and that nice relic.

I dig every tone on this site, Its the craziest place more silver than wheat or IHP's very little trash or iron, I have pulled a few nails but not what I expected!
To date I have pulled 2 seated dimes, 3 Barber dimes, 4 Mercury dimes, 2 V nickels, 1 buffalo Nickle. 6 IHP's a few Wheaties, and a handful of clad. My last time through I went to all medal mode and still didn't find a lot of iron! Oh and handful of bullets.
