What about the personal items?!

[PlzBSeated]

Came upon a fresh tear-out today. Small area. Evident someone had already been there as there were many apparent dig spots. That doesn't deter me, we all miss good targets, myself included. What gets me is my predecessor apparently only dug the high tones. Way too many non-ferrous mid and low tones left behind, trash and interesting items. I find the mid and low tones the more interesting targets as they are usually personal effects. So either the person ahead of me only digs coins (literally and figuratively) or they were an amateur.



Brass or copper broach. Yes I'm showing the back so the pin is evident. Front view doesn't add much.



I'm thinking an early barrette, or maybe another pin. Just showing the back for the same reason.



Some sort of religious charm. Can make out a cross and an anchor, can't make out the third figure. Chime in if you have an idea what this is.



And the classic corroded pocket knife.

So someone else beat me to the coins today, but still enjoyed the hunt and pocketed a few interesting items.

The 3rd item is most likely a heart.
The charm represents:
Faith (cross)
Hope (anchor)
Charity (heart)
These were a very popular combination on charms, zipper pulls, buttons, etc.

Nice relics, I'd be happy to dig those any day.

One has to look at some of the items we find and where we find them and wonder - what was happening when they were lost, what was the person doing at the time? Makes this a great hobby. Good finds..
