Stay at home hunt pays in silver!

[Digger_O'Dell]

Hi all
Had some drama the past few days so not really up for traveling. Decided to relax a bit and go over my yard and some backyard field once more trying the open screen this time. The field didn't do much but did give up a big knife blade. No markings and broken at the hilt, do no idea to age. Also found what I assume is a ferrule from a scythe or other implement.
But the yard was another story. I picked up 2 items I can't identify. The first is brass and pictured under the knife blade. The other looks like maybe a variation of an ox knob?
I also found some buckles, one being a type I've never seen before, and another a flat buckle with fancy on it. Of course can't hunt without some harmonica reed! Lol
But the best part was a bouncy high tone going between a 12-42 to 12-48 @ 6 inches. Dug down and pinpointed a worn 1912 Barber dime. Rechecked the hole and it had a friend in the form of an 1898 Barber quarter, also pretty worn. All together a great couple hours!

Wow. What a great day staying local! Congrats on the little, and big silver. Not sure on the first mystery item, but the second is positively a nib collar for a farm scythe or tool. There's a number of varieties and believe me, I've dug too many of those things over the years (sound just like a deep copper). The item below that is part of a carriage or buggy brake mechanism if you didn't know. HH!

All but the long pointy thing under the knife blade.
