    Very nice group of relics charlives.
    Great looking cameo and the Merry Widows case top is a great find. Bonus on the Buffalo and ring.
    I've been so focused on coin hunting lately, I've forgotten how cool it is to find the 'other' stuff.
    Congrats on your keepers.

    Cool finds! thumbsup01 ...like everyone else said, too bad about the cameo brooch :-\ I wonder if it's a real diamond! Hey maybe it'd be worth restoring... if even possible. lol I watch Antique Roadshow and read a lot about restoration. Maybe! These sell for about $500 -$2000

    Thanks everyone! They come from two adjacent homesteads....or maybe one large farm. Now all woods. Can't get anywhere near the cellar hole yet. A swamp/stream runs by it and the mosquitos have not been kind. 8/
    Tanacat, thanks for the info. I didn't notice they all face right. Now I like mine, with her left leaning ways, even more.
    I also found an undatable V nickel that I forgot to put in the pic. My daughter asked why they called it a V nickel...I had no answer for days until i realized it was a 5 ....duhhh
    Have a great weekend everyone.
