Pink cameo, and a cast of less common finds

[PlzBSeated]

Favorite find of the day was this beautiful cameo. Only the second cameo I have ever found. Have included a back-lit photo to show the translucence of the material. This shows that it is quality material, likely shell, as opposed to a cheap plastic knock-off (as if the corroded bezel wasn't enough).



Couple of lead bag seals. The one on the left is from the Michigan Central Railroad. It was found not too far from that line. I am assuming the other is also from the Michigan Central because of the 40 occurring on both seals, but I could be wrong.



Couple other oddball but intriguing items include a brass picture hanger with a nice texture, and a couple marbles. The clay marble was the fun find of the day as it did not actually show up in the hunt. It popped out of the ground as I was planting a new rose bush in my flower bed!

Today's finds...

IHP, date unreadable

Could very well be. Don't know how to distinguish between the two. Just always have called the lead seals bag seals.
