Very cool!!! It almost looks like a "rosary bracelet, with ten hearts representing the "decades" of the rosary, and the lone single heart representing the "Our Fathers".

I don't think you "broke" it... I think that the single heart and small chain should probably attach to the clasp.


Great find!!!!

Neat find!

And the quality of that photo is quite impressive too. What type of dig. camera do you have??

Nice find!

I always worry about digging chains, though I've never broken one. On the beaches it could be pretty easy to cut through a thin gold chain in packed sand with the scoop. (As if I ever find thin gold chains!) Digging carefully is always a good habit to be in-- I've also heard of people putting nasty scratches on otherwise nice gold coins :( when getting them out of the ground.

Not sure how to tell if your chain was damaged or not-- was the clasp closed around the fragment when you found it? It might have been broken when it was lost. I have a nice gold bracelet where the gold had just worn through over the years it was worn, and broke the link. The clasp was still closed so I found it in one piece.

One other observation: I wouldn't expect to find a Rosary at a Baptist church.

Niether would I. Just an observation on my part since that is what it really looks like to me. Of course, there could be many reasons one way or the other, too numerous to mention. But either way, it's a very cool find!
