Hi Skully,
Nice finds as always. That three legged thing at the bottom of your pictures is a three-way swivel.
One eye is tied to your main line(coming from the fishing pole), the lower eye in the middle is where the
weight is tied on a piece of weaker monofilament, then on the third eye you have a leader and hook.
It is used that way to fish over rocks, so hopefully your hook won't get snagged on the bottom and if the weight does that's all that will break off.
Hope that made sense.

Another Silver Ring to add to your totals this year is great. The symbol on the Indian Ring is meant for good luck. I think the Nazi Symbol is the reverse of this. I see you got taken by a fake Gold Avon Ring. You will have to make up for it next time out. Still did pretty good and something is always better than nothing. Hope you find much more Silver and Gold this year and Good Luck and HH!

I love finding that old Indian Silver, great find on that ring. It looks like a good luck symbol on that ring. I have found various tokens with the same marking. It almost looks like a swastika, but they are a little different. Great find.

before that it was considered a good luck symbol. Very nice find. I have a 4 "H" ring with it on it.

The swastika was adpoted by the Nazis in recent history but it is a symbol that has been used before recorded history in other cultures around the globe. The Nazis actually stole it from the Hindus as part of their obsession with mysticism.
Native Peoples have used the swastika as a symbol long before the arrival of the White Man in North America. You will find it in the southwest tribes as well as the Iroquois and Algonquins. The rattlesnake motif ties in with that as well.

Here's a lucky charm that came with a walking & talking Madame Hendren doll from the 20's.
