Found yesterday - Solved!

[gonediggin]

I found this piece yesterday. It is made a brass. its about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. On one side it has an engraving of what i think is a cross. On the other side it has an engraving of a crown and under the crown is writting that says "ATHO" then it goes blank "SON". any help would be greatly appreciated.

It also helps with ID if you put something of a known size next to your mystery item like a US dime for example. Lets the rest of us know how big it is. How about a blade for an old wood plane ? Just a wild guess not knowing how big it is.

i forgot to mention that this piece was deeper than others i found at the site. It was more than 10 inches deep, while most other relics have only been 6 to 7 inches deep.

Re: Found yesterday

I agree padlock keyhole cover although its an odd shape.


Thanks Mack for posting the green check reminder. Im working in a National Park now and only have internet access 1 or 2 days a week when I come into town for supplies. The green checks help keep the forum organized. I see that many green checks are missing.

And as 'PBK' once wrote:
"Also, for the benefit of those who may not be aware of what the green check means, it's not a bad idea to add " — SOLVED! " to the title."
