Here in the Ozarks, we pronounce the sterling chain as "Eye-Tal-yun" silver, even though it is marked .925 Italy. Can a jewelry expert describe the link to me, is it a "box link" style? I found it in a park lawn with the Tasmanian Devil pendant, (marked 1997-obviously with the price of the "stamp.") I also found two childrens flower rings in the same hole, they are only bling. And, it would not be a Subterranean hunt without at least ONE "bad mood" ring...these are rings #33, 34, and 35 for the year.

I also found two brass mystery items that I will have to defer to relic experts for help identifying. One is a brass conical point, maybe a flag pole/guidon pole point, scabbard, Native copper item, or farm implement. Looks like it may have been on the end of a wooden pole. It was flattened and bent when found in a park that is about half way between the site of Zygony's Charge and the Wilson's Creek battlefield in the Springfield, MO, area.

The other little brass/copper item looks like something I have seen on TNet before, may be just a brush handle, but I don't know. Maybe a fuse lighter? If so, CW era or reenactment prop? Found near Republic, MO, not too far from Wilson's Creek National Battlefield.

Thanks for looking, I will be taking a trip to California to see a new grandbaby for three weeks, so no digging, but just trolling TNet to enjoy your finds! Happy Hunting to all, Sub 8-)

I like that taz pendant. Can't help you with the Id on the others but have a Safe Trip.
 

Not sure but the second piece looks like a piece of modern arrow shaft. I think they're all made of aluminum though. I'm not a bow hunter so I can't say for sure.
 

Class of 77 going strong. :thumbsup: Looks like you pulled some more bling and a couple of neat relics. I like the necklace, sorry I am no help with the mystery items.
 

Looks like a rather fun/interesting hunt!

The lil brass tube? Obviously a high tech pea shooter! ;)
 

nice finds

Whadi, Our benevolent armor expert, The Cannonball Guy, ID'ed the brass tube as a modern friction primer fuse for CW reenactors! The big lawn where I found it would make a perfect mock field of battle. Makes sense now....Sub 8-)
