I hit a favorite school yard that has given me 1880's relics this past year. Came home with some Jewelry, a silver plated feather earring piece and a sterling ring with a nice pattern, marked .925 IFS.
In keeping with my "Large Token" streak, I dug this Tribourough Bridge Authority token, almost the size of a half-dollar. Don't know the age on this or if it is current.
Found these copper tags about 100 yards apart, one is stamped through and through with a number. The other has no identifying marks and was folded in half when dug, broke upon opening...ugh...
Dug this buckle from about 8" down, it has a lot of patina and seems to have had a cross bar in the middle at one time. Maybe a Victorian-era sash buckle?
By far, the most unusual item of the day was this piece, my brass , four-pronged pyramid-shaped item. This is not an arrow head. The outer surfaces are rounded smooth and were gold plated at one time, as there are traces left. It is about 1 5/8" tall, has a flat base with possible remnants of soldering. The top point does not appear to have anything broken off of it. Any help ID'ing this piece would be greatly appreciated. It is possibly what is left of a wax seal?
All in all, a long, cold, dreary day that wasn't so bad because of some fun finds. Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all of my TNet friends! Sub
