BIG ornate silver found today

[pl8man]

Finally got out again and hunted an older area of San Jose . This one school has a tiny park on the corner dating from the early 1900. The first hit I got was a +84 at 8-9 inches . I kept digging down and I saw BIG silver . It looks like maybe part of a jewelry box ? Very ornate detail on it . Any ideas ?

No idea what it is. But silver always looks nice when its dug out of the ground.

Congratualtions on the big silver!

It looks like in the third across the top photo; there may have been a hinge

My guess(s)...

Powder box lid.
Trinket box lid.
Jewelry box lid.

That looks like a chunky piece of silver. Congrats.

Might be half of a clam shell purse. The other half may be near by...
