Finally got out a bit. Cruised around a park for awhile lots of annoying beer caps, tons of pennies, a really ugly cheap ring, and this semi neat I think pendent someone made with a clad or silver dime. I'd hope it's silver but doubt it lol I can't tell.

I thought it was junk when I found it and threw it in my junk bag. Got home and saw the edge looked like a coin. Also was dark colored when I found it so didn't think much of it. Gave it a vinger and foil treatment then polished it with a silver polish cloth and it shined right up. I'm guessing who ever made it never took the dark color off when they cut it out from the heat. So made it look clad colored. Almost tricked me and made me almost toss it lol
 

That’s a nice recovery Congratulations
Going home with something more than you started with is time well spent

Yes indeed. I'll take a tiny bit of silver over nothing any day lol
 

Definitely silver, that color doesn't lie, 1960-64.
