The ravages of a fire

[pepperj]

Well the fall is on us, so the crops are coming off.
Couples of hours to spare, so I hit a couple of sites.
I know now why this is a hard site to do, the fire damage to the finds.
Got part of a frame, on the far end.
Then spotted the button.

Next was the Ontario Fishery Overseer badge.
It was well heated, but a beautiful save, even if it's a tad moth eaten.
This fisheries was set up in 1857, disbanded in 1907.

I moved on to the other side of the farm to another field that was disc'd.
Got the cruddy 1854 Upper Canada Bank Half Penny Token.

Got this heavy brass piece. Not exactly sure, my thoughts were off a knife

Any how a couple of interesting things.
From the multi hit sites.

The brass item is a part of a Scythe. This brass piece attaches the wooden handle to the shaft of the Scythe. We find these often here in the California Gold Country.

Thanks for confirming that ID.
I get steel ones off and on doing the homesteads. Though the brass ones are few and between.
