What might this be?

I found this in sarasota at a park near the water. Looks old and ornate. Possibly silver by the way it is on the back...looks spanish...from a bracelet?

looks like the male end clasp from a bracelet. A very nice bracelet at that. Too bad you don't have the rest of it!

 

[sarasotadigger84]

Yes i wish i can find it. I wonder how old it is. Looks very old. My god.

 

[mxtman2]

Keep looking. The rest may still be out there.

My first thought was a watch band clasp of some sort so same thing... Try Skippy's aluminum foil/spit test to see if it smells

 

[sarasotadigger84]

I did it and it smells like rotten eggs!

 

[sarasotadigger84]

So its silver. I wonder what to do?

 

[DigToChina]

Brag. That's what I'd do. I'd be like, "Dude, I found SILVER." Kind of understated, with swagger.

We have VERY different concepts of what understated is Skippy! [emoji23]

Did you clean this ?

 

[sarasotadigger84]

Im so happy. I cleaned it a little bit. Soap and hot water. What should i do next?

 

[sarasotadigger84]

Im dumbfounded...should i get this appraised? Is it worth more than just silver price? I just dont know...

 

[digger460]

While your waiting to see if someone can identify it, get back out there! Nice piece

Don't forget to breath....don't pass out either

 

[trapperart]

No help with ID but congrats on a nice find

 

[sarasotadigger84]

Would this be considered something of value over silver price? I am curious.

 

[sarasotadigger84]

Why? Lol am i gonna be amazed at the price? Lol

 

[against the wind]

It is probably a piece of a bracelet like everyone is saying. The cross is quite intriguing. Maybe a Biker's Bracelet.
If you had the whole thing, it might be worth a few bucks because it is kind of unique and it is silver.
Right now it is only worth melt value. How much does it weigh?
Congratulations.

 

[sarasotadigger84]

It looks too old for a biker bracelet. Lol. Weight is over 1 oz.

Silver scrap value isn't that high If you can find the rest of it assuming its a bracelet or some kind of ornate necklace it would be worth more 1 oz silver is not very valuable sometimes its better to keep as one of your finds that's special to you!!!Good job!!!!!!
