Silver Compass and Square

[WheatbackDigger]

Found this at an older (1900ish) farm house. I am guessing it is masonic. It has the marks of an anchor, lion, and lower case "e" on the reverse. Its a few mm larger than a quarter. Any info on the maker marks would be appreciated. Also found a 1927 SLQ, a couple of rosies and a dozen wheaties. There is about 4 or 5 acres of land and this was our first trip out there, so plenty of hunting left. My hunting partner also popped out a 1941 Walker and a 1952 Franklin. Two first for him.

Very nice, Masons would love to see that pin. Nice coin as well. Looks like the farm is a good one.

Thanks Tinpan, I was thinking 1905, but forgot to figure in 1900.

If your buddy doesn't want the Franklin, I'll take it off his hands.

Awesome finds!! Love the masonic thing! Hey I was given this website when I found some WW2 Captain bars with very similar prints on the back. This may give you an idea of how old it is. Hope it helps!!

Wow! It looks like you guys found a great spot. The coins alone are worth it...but the masonic piece would be a real dream come true. I cant wait to recover a masonic piece that is half as cool! Keep up the Good work...I look forward to seeing what else you guys pull ouy of there. Congrats once again!
