Here are a few of my recent finds. I found the Walker at an old baseball field but in the infield by the pitchers mound. I usually stay away from the infield but I found a wheatie on the edge of it and ventured farther in and was rewarded.

The Indians and barber dime came up by my cottage in the woods last week. Found some more War of 1812 ear buttons and a few other things too that I posted in the Relics section.

Great coins once again Jared! Always nice to get a big silver too. What's with the hallmarked piece of silver? It's obviously cut down from another piece. What are the dimensions?

It is very small. Only .25'' wide by 1.25" long and thin. Probably came off of a mirror or picture frame? Impossible to tell really. But it is silver at least.

What does the other side look like? Looks like a homemade first lieutenant bar to me.

I will have to upload a pic when I get home. It is so thin that I honestly think it is from some ornate picture frame or mirror handle or something like that. It is .25mm thick I bet.
It was all rolled up when I found it...had to unroll it and try not to break it.

Great finds, both my halves were on baseball fields this year. Congrats on the recoveries. WD
