Silver, wheats and relics 5-8

[postalgriff]

Got back out to the park today with my boys and found some more goodies. Got 4 more silver and some crusty wheats. Finally got a silver quarter out of that place. The silvers were all black and orange and I did a baking soda rub on them that worked great. Most of the relics pictured came from a bag I found in my trunk from a hunt last year I had forgot all about. Probably because I found no coinage lol. Any ideas on the two odd looking relics would be appreciated. Thanks for looking, HH, Griff.

Always with the interesting finds!

I thought the square box was a match holder. Did not understand the handle though. Thinking it was snuff box did some searching. Think I found it on ebay.

Was also thinking that forked thing looked familiar, remembered I had found something similar years ago. Pulled it out of my junk box. Know what that is?

wow! Good call!!! I at first thought pill box too but the handle threw me off. Thanks for researching that! As far as the forked thing, I have no clue.

Yeah buddy - the park that keeps on giving!!
Congrats on scoring some more Silvers bro!!
4 in 1 hunt is awesome. I like the buckles and don’t think I’ve ever seen a snuff box before. Pretty unique and cool relic find there!

Forked thing is part of an old door latch.



Here's a complete one I had laying around.

The relic on the right beside the coins is a compass carriage. I posted one about 3 years ago. Nice finds.
