Had a few minutes before church and went to my local dig, a trading post at my local ghost town. The Trime was in the spoil pile, so it had been missed from a previous hunt. after seeing the nail stuck to the side (10 o'clock on the "C") I realized why. The nail broke of leaving a small piece attached which popped off with pry from my fingernail.
The broach still has all the settings but is probably nonprecious. Not shown is a .45 Henry repeater case that is civil war era.
