1869 Shield Nickel & 1749 King George II Farthing, Mass Militia button, IH

Hello,

Just picked up detecting again. Ace 250 is nice but useless without a PROBE.

Went to my favorite spot in the middle of an old town (1680's). Last week got the 1749 Farthing, 1901 IH, Civil War Era Mass Volunteer Militia button, and tonight got my first 1869 Shield Nickel and a little silver thing. Can anyone identify the silver?

Thanks

Nice coins ! The silver , looks to me to be of Indonesian manufacture , Bali perhaps , It is
a bead from the looks of it , and of recent origin - I should say not more than 20 years old .
