Thankfully the snow melted!

Back to the old field where last week I dug the no-date capped bust silver half-dime and two early large cents. Today only found me a 1920 wheatie but I got more relics this time around. A Home Insurance Co. tag #6406, (Home Ins. Incorporated 1853). A decorative pin of some sort and what seems to be a piece of decorative furnature hardware.


First flat button has a eagle on the inside, don't know the maker. 2nd flat button is Standard Colour Treble Gilt, and here's the wheatie.



Dug a flattened thimble, not silver and the only piece of pottery that I found with the maker on it.
. . . and the bucket of "junk".


J. & G. Meakin was an English pottery manufacturing company founded in 1851 and based in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

Can't wait for the farmer to til up the field...

Nice relics Diggincoinz.
You are now a new member of the Home Insurance fob club.
I found mine a while back and thought was this made that way or was it filed around the outside edge.
Mine don't have anything on the back like yours and maybe the back was added later.
