Today’s Finds! Need some help IDing one..

[A. Fitzpatrick]

Spent a couple hours on a rocky little section of beach and hit the lotto! First ever Merc, four wheaties and some other change. Also what appears to be a handle of some sort with “ROYAL U.S.” on it.. fairly heavy, and was 6-8inches down in sand and saltwater and I pulled it out just as clean as it is now... any thoughts? Hopefully my pictures come
Through..
