    In regards to the hinged bracelet, ironically, the two little eyelets held a small chain to keep the bracelet from opening so far that it freely fall off your arm.

    no idea what they are I recognize immediately. When I was a kid there were really not many items made out of plastic. Most things made were not to be thrown away but bought and used indefinitely. I think we have gone backwards. Have a great summer!

    Leaf litter is not the only way coins get underground. Coins sink over time due to expansion and contraction of the soil due to temperature and moisture. They don't sink much in clay soils, but can sink eight inches or more in sandy/loamy soils given enough time. I have never dug in places coins could be 200 years old, but suspect some coins could sink over a foot. A big coil might be of help in those areas.

    The architecture of the old farmhouse is intriguing. What I have been told is that the divided panels on the front door, the arched panels, represented Moses tablets of the Old Testament and indicated that the owner was Jewish. The front columns being one piece of timber, I have not seen before. Extraordinary. Other tablets have been fashioned in wood, or glass inset windows, and were a secret code for hospitality given to Jews. As the Masons ideology spread through New England among business owners, members had an advantage for insider trade, and became anti-semites in an effort to eliminate Jewish competition.

The 1892 IHC is a key date, even with some corrosion it still has numismatic value. I hope you have, had, a chance to scan the whole property, great finds!

    You’ve already been told this , but the two loops were for a safety chain.
    This style of bracelet construction was popular in imported Indian and Nepalese bangle bracelets. Many were made with water buffalo horn, and framed with cheap white metal. The pin closures are suggestive of import stores in the ‘60’s and 70’s.
    However it may have nothing to do with eastern imports, but it is DEFINITELY a bracelet 😀

But I snap out of it and realize I'm far more likely to find old farm flotsam. As for the "syringe", it could possibly be a gun powder measure. A device one can set to hold a certain amount of gun powder to charge a muzzle loading rifle or musket with.

Occasionally got some 1920's and 30's silver dimes or quarters too along with some Buffalo Nickels. Besides the Indian head pennies my favorite was the 1943 steel wheat penny I found as I've been fascinated with those since I was a kid even though they're not really worth much except for the few that weren't supposed to go out when they switched back to copper

    Could the syringe-like thing be a tire pressure gauge? Old ones were brass- the increments might reveal something. Cool old house! I wish I had a great big bag I could put it in. It's ever more disappointing when they tear them down, and the insurance strictly stipulates that none of the materials, beams, trim, can be salvaged. The companies actually maintain complete documentation of the disposal- morons!

    Right now I'm stuck on a treasure legend that's valued at more than 750 million dollars if it's found. Very few people know about the story and it all involves men back in the 1890's helping their fellow men move to another part of the United States. Soo imagine this? Nobody knows in this state what is in the ground and if it's still there the value of it is more than any treasure legend right now being looked for. Very few people know about this treasure legend and I have't say my words right so nobody finds it other than myself if it's still there.

    that is a syringe. The first ones made were done that way but yours is a bit latter than the first ones made. The plunger should have a scale on it. That one looks like late 1800s post industrial boom maybe like 1870s onto about 1900. It may have been used for animals or people.

    The metal ‘syringe’ my husband says it looked like an old powder measure for black powder gun. The graduations are the different measurements you might need.

    A small chain about 2inchs was attached to the small round circles on the edge of the bracelet to keep it from opening way back keeping the hinge from breaking the bracelet in two 🤔🤨🤔
