What's a bodkin?
Your finds always amaze me. Again I learn something about history (earwax removal)....:lol:
A bodkin is traditionally a blunt needle with a large eye for drawing tape or ribbon through a loop or hem .
Willems that one is a very unique one and must of been very special to someone long ago.:perfect10:
Congrats for the finds. Awesome. My wife insists that its not a bodkin. She is the sowing history buff in my household. But she's not sure what it is for sure. LOL Safe & HH
Whatver it is, it's cool. But don't lick it. :grin:
Sorry but it is.
It's a bodkin/hairpin and a ear-scoop 2 things in one.

Awesome old silver for sure :thumbsup02:
Wow, love the finds. I enjoy seeing the incredible artifacts and coins found in Europe. Thanks for sharing.
Willems, Have you had the hallmarks deciphered? It may be one of the earliest known Claddagh items if it dates to 1600's. Check out Wikipedia on claddagh items. Dave.
Great finds Willems . Thanks for posting . Hmmmm.....a Bodkin , it's great to see something I never even knew existed . It probably belonged to royalty being what it is and being silver . I guess the poor folks had to use sticks . Thank Heaven for Q-tips . Awesome coin also .
