Found something weird (jewelry?) on the beach today (venice, ca)

[SpencerK]

Found this little trinket metal detecting some dry sand on Venice beach about 20 feet from the entrance with my bounty hunter tracker iv. Even more shocking was the fact that it was between 10 and 12" deep. Everything I'm finding is less than 4"

I can't tell WHAT it is. I really need help with that. My guess is some sort of antique jewelry. It has what looks like 2 rubies (used to be 3 possibly fake)

Does anybody have a clue what I found?

can you show it from the ends and the other side kinda looks like it could be a bead ?

if it is hollow through I could imagine it with jack sparrow's hair through it

 

[SpencerK]

I think jack sparrow lost his hairpiece...



Yep I think captain sparrow made a trip down around South America up to Catalina island.

Lost his hairbead.

Maybe I should make it my goatee bead.... LOL

To me it looks like part of a junker hair piece. I find parts of those things all of the time.

Congrats on your find

So to me, it appears to be part of a larger piece. So here is my VERY uneducated guess. I'm going to say it is part of a Spanish Reliquary Cross, maybe the section close the base. Here is a Google Image Search.

Interesting piece and funny that the Tracker IV picked it up so deep.

 

[SpencerK]

Yeah it's making me wonder weather or not it contains any precious metals. I set my discrimination up really high and air tested it and it was still hitting.

I like the Spanish cross piece guess...either way, interesting piece

 

[SusanMN]

Looks like an inexpensive bead or jewelry piece.

 

[SpencerK]

If it's hitting at max discrimination is it even possible to be junk metal?

Everybody I have shown it to has a different opinion on what it is and weather or not it's real. I need to find time to take it to a jeweler...
