Metal Detecting - Hot Days and US Silver Dimes

I know what this item is.. Can you guess?
Found Saturday morning -

 

I also found this neat Lucky Horseshoe Medallion
I need to do research on it.

 

Here are all my US Silver coins found with my Minelab Vanquish 440 Metal Detector within the last 4 months -

 

I almost forgot 1 little Silver Ring -

 

The bell from a cat’s collar?
The walls seem a little thick, though, and normally they are (currently) ball shaped.

 

Incorrect.
Hint.. You purse your lips on it

 

Very nice finds! Cat bell seems likely.

 

@masterswimmer
Since I no longer have my handy vest

Here is my updated Detecting belt!


I still wear a backpack for a towl, batteries, water and snacks.

 

Lipstick?

 

Nope..
Another hint.. You attach it to somthing. But it's broken. You have to imagine the missing piece.
It is very simple!

 

Accoutrements of the Master Coin Hunter.

 

A whistle?

 

Mouthpiece for a brass instrument, possibly a bugle.

 

Close but no cigar

 

Very nice gear rig. I need to pick up some capsaicin spray.

 

Correct!
A mouthpiece for trumpet like instruments with the stem missing.

 

I was going to say it was used to snuff out a candle.

 

Can I have another guess?

 

Paddyman - There is a abandoned sanitarium near me, about 250 acres of soon-to-be development. What steps do you take to search, and is there usually a permit required? Thanks for any guidance.
