Seal matrix ring and some silver...

I've been getting out on short hunts and making some finds. This area has produced my oldest coins. It was an old farm/guest house into the 1600s then used as farm land ever since. Here's the relics. A hand worker pin, wax seal matrix 1700s, small button 1700s, small tap, bronze ring, small bowl weight, cross, brass wedding band, older buckle and a Nazi brooch.

I think this is some kind of handworkers pin, not real sure.

Here is a close up of the wax seal matrix, initials P.S. he looks to have been a carpenter. I mirrored the image so it is legible.

Some of the coins I found, upper left is a French Napoleon 1856, the oldest coin, a silver is a 1766. HH, Mike

Great finds!

I have also found one Napeloen III 1862 in Oswestry.
Your silvercoin is really nice.Relics are also fun.

Thanks all! I also thought the ring may be Masonic but really looks more like Carpenter tools. The area of Germany where I live was founded by Czechs so there is definitely some Eastern influence.
A forum friend ID'ed the handworker pin, it was issued in the winter of 1933 to volunteers, under the hands is a Swastika, hard to make out even on a well preserved pin. Here's a better picture,

I would really like to find things as old as that some day.
