Most likely some coins. I think a bayonet that could be from a long time ago but I'm not sure.

My grandma's engagement ring from 1924. My knees? Yeah, I was thinking my grandmother's rosary beads. But I also collect vintage clothing and antique furniture, so I've got that going as well.

I have this religious 'crown' representing the holy spirit and it is from the late 1800's. But I didn't know how to describe it.

It is ornate and of course meaningful as it was my great grandparents passed down. I find it amazing my grandparents had such an expensive item when they were so poor. (I am not sure if it is silver or what)

I find it amazing my grandparents had such an expensive item when they were so poor. (I am not sure if it is silver or what) My guess is that it's sterling and you can find it stamped and marked. My great grandparents came from humble origins, as did their parents, yet when it came to certain items that were very important, they spared no expense. I do understand.

A piece of marble with some Roman numerals on it, which I brought home from an archeological excavation site in Cyprus many years ago. Assuming it really is Ancient Roman it could be about 2000 years old.
