Woke up early and got a bucket lister and it’s SILVER!!!

Well gang it took my 4 years but I finally got my first silver thimble!!! I love it. Also got a handle to a old spoon/fork, 2 wheats 1921 and 1927 and something I don’t know what it is. A old pipe maybe....I hope. Once and any help will be appreciated.

The “what is it”

I’m afraid to clean it because that might be the only thing holding it together. Lol

Congratulations on the silver thimble, I have yet to find a thimble silver or otherwise. As for the unidentified piece I don't think it's a spout otherwise it would show hollowness or be completely flattened due to thin metal. Thought maybe it could be a be.t break or clutch petal off an early car as the flat circular piece has what could be the remains of bumps to prevent foot slipage like early petals had but no, the stem part looks too fat for a petal. Don't know.

Don when, and you will, find that first silver of anything it’s gonna be intense so hold on. I’m gonna clean it up and put a better picture up of this thing.

Well, another silver thimble! Always welcome!
Mine had a few markings up inside of the cap but yours looks like it might be too flat to even see.
Best not to damage trying to see something that really doesn't do much. The appreciation of just finding one is enough!

Doesn't really matter anyway, nice finds!

Congrats on the silver thimble. I have yet to find my first silver one, and I would really like to have one.

Well done Truth!

That is true, but boy would I love to try. Lol I’ve ruined a couple of things in my time trying to straighten something out or get a better view of the date and I’ve learned to just let it be.
