Does that one have a ship on it?

Which one were you wondering about the ship on? The only thing that I can see that has anything on it is the big item on the right. It has what looks like a flattened and bent clasp or hook of some kind. Maybe a buckle or something, but not real sure. It has a dimple in the center almost like there was a post or something there at one point. Hope that helps.

This is the one I was referring to. It looks like a ship , but it is rotated roughly 45º clockwise.

I wish it was a ship, but sadly it's just scrapes from being hit with a plow, or my shovel. :-[

Those two pieces were soldered together, it is a broken bridle rosette.

Under the scrapes should be some countermarks, its a 'pan weight' (sometimes call a trade weight) which could be dated by those marks.
