I found it in a creek bed in a historical mining area. Near holocolm district. The name inscribed is Bessie. The color looks like gold, but it quite light in weight. The pendant is hallow and has a pin hole at the top and bottom. Small stone in middle. Any estimations on an age? 20180220_215304.jpg 20180220_215321.jpg

Excellent find. With a name on it like Bessie, it has to have some age to it. That name just isnt used to much these days.

Hand engraved, and a super sweet find IMO. About a 100 years old, maybe a little bit older.

Congrats on the nice find!
