That. Is. Awesome! Thanks for sharing the video. If it put a smile on my face you must have had a grin. [emoji16] I'm sure this has already been flagged for Honourable Mention but I'm going to do it again.

There is no way (no way!) that woman is 91! Man, I hope I age that well.

Thank you, DigToChina! Yes, I continue to watch the clip and “grin” [emoji6] reliving the happy moment. I know, she looks so terrific....and I caught her in the evening after she already dressed down..beautiful, she is!

Thank you for the vote...certainly not necessary but I appreciate the thought and effort. I guess I should be doing that for many neat things I have seen but didn’t even know about it....but I learned how to post the video...chuckle.

Merci!

Thank you, basssmann. Skunked days are a given, but I have to admit that I have had a good streak this year and don’t want to quit hunting until I find one “good” thing [emoji6] . I appreciate the HM but truly her happiness was the prize! Someone had suggested I video tape the return...I didn’t think of that myself.

Congratulations on your recent retirement!

Very nice find on the silver rings and kudos to you for returning it to the owners family!
I don't know whether you ever got an I.D. on this piece or not, but it's the back portion to a horse harness rosette

Here's a pic of yours and a similar one I found a few years ago.

Thank you, Dave! Someone identified it as a rosette but your photos really show it is the very same kind of piece. It is inspiring me to look for text or numbers on it! Thank you for finding your similar piece and taking the time to post!
