I think this is a stamp out says arrow presents ten nights in a barroom. Its backwards I used a mirror to read it. Looked it up and it was a play back in 1800's

The U.S. half cents certainly don't turn up too often. Congrats on a great find!

Nice find on the half cent, I have dug alot of large cents but never a half cent its definitely on my wish list

 

[bad Chad]

I know what you mean, it was cool, when I first saw it I new it wasn't a LC. Thought at first it was a two cent.

Jewelerguy any idea on the strap looking creature thing. lol

looks to me like a woman's sash belt buckle, probably about 1890-1910-ish
