Hit a local late 1800s early 1900s spot this morning for a few hours. Dug a nice looking brooch. Not sure what the style is but the wife liked it and said she would wear it if she was born a 100 years earlier
Also managed a Barber dime, a corroded Indian Head Penny that is the same size as the dime, and what I am guessing is a home made farm stock ID tag.

Nice brooch. It does look about the same age as the home. My guess on that tag would be homemade livestock tag as well.
