kac Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Been bit lazy posting stuff, mostly been coin and jewelry hunting and nothing spectacular to post. Earlier I started to hunt an area that had some old buildings at off the beaten path and was able to pluck this pewter handle out. Possibly ww1 era? Maybe a cane handle?

dogodog Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Nice job Ken, You always manage to wrestle out an odd find and that's pretty cool. Could be a cane handle or a carved petrified pickle Ha Ha. Whatever it turns out to be it's, something interesting for sure. Pretty sure you'll have an answer soon.

I like relic hunting more than just coin shooting. I stumbled on the majority of my old coins while relic hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Can you make out the text on it? That's a big help. Awesome find. Looks military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 If you zoom in on the pics you can make out some text. Might have to take a tooth pick to it and see if i can clear it up bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I think civil war commemorative of some sort. Grand army of the republic maybe. i see crossed swords, anchor, two guy's shacking hands. Maybe a north/south convention item. Cane handle does sounds a good guess. Interesting find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Cool find, kac! Yeah it does look like a CW commemorative item of some sort. It seems small for a cane handle unless it broke in the middle. I was thinking a pewter cup handle maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Think it's Spanish American war commemorative piece. Seals are similar to this I found on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I can see Grand Army on the cane handle. That would be Grand Army of the Republic, a Union Civil War veteran's organization. GAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the original building had burned down at some point. I searched the area pretty well and did come across a small silver barrette. Area was heavily hunted over the years so pesky shotty primers all over. Their signals range from nickels to copper penny range so you got to dig them. Thanks for finding that info.
