Hi I'm new here I don't own a metal detector myself but while visiting my parents for the holidays I decided to try out my dads. I was walking thru the woods on their property finding nothing more than a few old nails etc when I came to a small stream about ankle deep or less with a mostly sandy bottom. I started walking through it and the detector went off. The sandy substrate was loose enough for me to just plunge my hand into, and I did until I found a necklace, dumbfounded I ran back to the house , cleaned it off and have been wearing it ever since. It is real silver, not sure what the stones are. There are no makers markings or markings of any kind. And so I havnt been able to find out much about it. It comes apart in 4 pieces. More than anything I would love if someone could identify the symbol on the pendant portion on the necklace. Hours of sifting thru Google images hasnt yielded anything for me.

Looks like marcasite jewelry. Marcasite is a genuine mineral name but this jewelry was not made using true marcasite. It was faceted pyrite, or more usually cut steel. (As yours seems to be.) Also true marcasite decomposes and crumbles when exposed to the atmosphere.

Thankyou very much for shedding a little light on it for me Rasputin :) typing marcasite jewelry for men into google brings up almost an exact copy of the necklace I found as the first picture(I'll add to post) minus the large pendant and symbol unfortunately though.download (18).webp

I'm not sure if it's any kind of real symbol, but more of an Art Deco design. It looks like a more recent made piece to me.

You are probably right tamrock, thanks for your input. At first I thought it sort of reminded me of some Asian symbols(will add pic to post). But still no luck on Google images so I bet your right. Thanks guys very much:)images (32).webp
