Today's River Relics

I found the smallest religious pendant I ever saw.
From the looks of it, it is Catholic.
The back still has good detail but the front appears to have maybe Jesus or The Virgin Mary.
I see the halo, a face image, and script at the top.

See the dime for a size reference on the next photo.
How old is this?
It appears brass.
3 hoops on it.

Other finds are a D buckle and a OC nickel silver spoon.
Any ideas on who made the spoon and how old?

Thanks

Ok this just dawned on me. It looks to be a part of a rosary. The pendant piece would be after the first mystery.

They are called Rosary Medallions.
Here is an example of a non dug one on a rosary.

The age is still unknown unless someone knows here.

I got buffed and stood up today

Not to mention a bucket lister for me.
I had an incredible 1 hour outing today at a woods I have pounded these past couple years.
At first I found the 2 Headstamps. I have found dozen upon dozens of these in this area. This was a fishing and hunting reserve in the early 1900s. The REM-UMC NEW CLUB 12 GA "broken Circle" was a new one for me. Circa 1915-1942.
Then the bucket lister.
It was on a hilly part of the area so swinging was a bit awkward but the AT Pro hit on a repeatable 86 so I knew it was a good one. 4 inches down and there she was. 1917 SLQ.
I swung over the hole again and hit on a low-high. Pin-pointed it and it was a 1918 wheatie.
My first old spill.
A little later swung on a mid tone and dug this no date Buffalo. A few more swings and dug this 1945 S War Nickel.
A 2 silver day is very rare for me.
