Can you post a pic of the back? Did you find it with a metal detector or by eye? Looks like a pretty nice find.

It looks as though it may have been a ring with the band broken away as both sides have broken areas.

Neat find! Can you tell us what part of the world you are in? It may give a clue!

It's a nice find! I'm not sure what it was though. What state are you in? You might want to post it on the "What Is It?" forum.

I believe it belongs to a walking stick. My brother has some of these from his walking stick from when he came back from Europe after his stint in the Air Force;

So do you think it could be worth anything? Or how old could it be? I'd like to no I there's any history behind it ! Thanks

You asked is that a find you found?
I find it is a find you found!
Often I have found a find,
I'll tell you where my finds were found.
Most often they were in the ground!
You'all should know I really hate myself for this kind of thing, but my Father's family was Irish and sometimes I just can't help actin' the maggot and slagger, especially when the Wife's got the headache and there's nothin' else to do here at three in the mornin'.

I would suggest clean it up and attach to a hiking stick I believe that was it's intended use.

Do they make these for American trails? What a cool idea. We hike a lot and for some odd reason I have never seen these.

I want to be a Senior Wanderer now! And I want lots finds like this one to show off! Maybe T-Net should offer this type of thing to be attached to detector shafts for member status graduations! Look at me! See my detector badge! I'm a full member on T-net!!!
