I'm ecstatic.. first piece of shell art I've ever had, or even held in my hands. Didn't even have the detector out. This morning I was surveying a new hunt site where a farm house once stood to look for wells, cisterns, etc. (I'd be scared to death to fall into them). I noticed this shell art cap half buried in a pile of leaves and twigs. I initially thought that it was maybe part of a light fixture or such.
Pulled it out from under the leaves and realized what it is. Damn. That's almost like finding a big hunk of silver. I have no clue when it was made, and I can barely read what's on the flat side, but I'll get a better look later in the evening
One of the buttons is missing, and there's a crack in the bill. I'll just rinse the dirt off and leave it as is.
