A bit of silver in dry sand ( that I almost missed)

[lorraine]

Hi,

Decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather this morning and headed for "muddy flats" at low tide this morning; nothing much out there for me after 2 hrs. hunting, so I decided to hit the wet slope and dry sand ( in that order).

Started finding coins and then heard a nice high singing tone, but when I dug the target, it looked to me like just another scrap piece of metal until I cleared more sand and saw the circular "connector " at the top ; turned out to be a silver pendant.

Was about 5" deep in dry sand; heavily coated with tarnish, but it cleaned up well with Tarn-X and baking soda.

Looked all over the pendant for a marking, but found none silver acid test proved +



Don't know the significance of the pendant ...something to do with children ...maybe a teacher's pendant ?...not sure.


Would appreciate some input as to ID....thank you

Here's some pics

Thank you for taking a look at my post

Hey there Lorraine,good to see you got out today. It's been raining like stink here but we have a few permissions in place when it dries up. I wish I knew more about silver tests,etc. to help you ID that little pendant. I like your first picture,it's like you arranged the relics to look a little like the pendant's face might look like with coins for hair and eyes,etc. I promise I haven't been smokin anything,lol.

Thanks, CoilyGirl,

Yup, that is the extent of my artistic talent...very limited

I did find the pendant on-line; it's just a little girl with pigtails silver pendant.

Here's the pic from on-line, although it does not look silver to me

It's all treasure if it's silver or gold! Nice find

I am surprised it don't have a hallmark. It may be on the ring at the top and sometimes even on the side which is hard to read. I dug a pendent yesterday but it was pure junk.

What a nice find, congrats on the silver. I can't seem to cross that barrier so far this year.

On a side note...

With that look that Domino is giving you the caption should read, "You realize that I'm too good for this silliness, don't you?"

 

[lorraine]

I'll keep trying to find that Hallmark, Normsel..it's got to be there somewhere.


Yeah, I also have had plenty of "junk jewelry" days

Good luck on your next hunt.

[lorraine]

Please tell your little girl that I said "Thank You" to her for helping me solve the mystery of the pendant.
