May 6th Finds

[iAmMike]

A bit hot outside, but I had a pretty good day! Went to an old town I've never been to before and the old district was all mansions! Most people didn't answer but I got two permissions. After a couple hours, and not finding anything old I was ready to leave the 2nd but then dug a minié ball. That kept me going for a while longer and lead me to find a 1905 IHP, and 1894 Barber quarter. At the first site I found what looks to be a curtain weight (Special thanks to the TreasureNet Forum community for IDing).

It's a weight for a loom I believe. I cant think of the proper name for the tool. Nice finds!!! So sweet to see that old silver.

They were commonly sewn into Victorian Skirts etc, but could be used with any material & for whatever use the buyer wanted. Curtains was common as well.
