Found this little keeper in a park that is still putting out. Came up as 12-34 on the e-trac 9" deep.
It's engraved with the initials RE on one side and dated on the other side. Oct. 25 1903. Looks gold, maybe gold filled? No stamp that I can find.

That is really unique! I would love to find something like that.
 

At first I thought gold, & then I saw the green, oh well cool piece aways.
 

I thought the same thing when I saw the green. When I was cleaning it the green chipped away and gold color still remained underneath it. Even at the loops.
 

Looks like a good item to me. Could do a scratch test to see if it passed and to see its content % Hope it is gold !

The copper-oxide bleeds from the base metal, its easy to clean off & leave the Gold plate.
 

That date is more likely DEC. 25 1903 if you look very closely.

Nice little find!
 

Is it a watch?
 

Check to see if it is Magnetic. Most filled pieces will be attracted to a Magnet. I always say it is good to keep a small strong magnet with you while digging. It is the first test at a pawn shop. Magnetic = not gold

Nice find!

It's not magnetic. Already put a magnet to it.
 

Sweet!! That's a beautiful piece. Looks like "DEC" to me too.
Apparently a Christmas gift.
 

If you weigh it you should be able to figure out if it's gold.
