Fun hunt today-some silver, and old toys

[RyanOShea]

Holly and I went for a outing today. we drove to an old school and dug plenty of clad. Some trinkets. And I dug a cool WWII fighter plane toy. Holly dug a neat old toy gun.
We then went down the road to the river to try some water hunting. We waded around in waste deep water. And my first target was a Silver trinket with a winged person and amethyst stone.
Dug plenty of clad out of the river. I gotta say, im getting a water detector! I am a water person. and detecting and getting in the river is AWESOME!

Is that what it is? an Eagle Dancer? Like a Native American thing? I was wondering what it is.
No its not hallmarked. Its definitely silver. But it looks handmade. I live in a town where these type of things are not uncommon. We have a saturday market, and I have seen a lot of silver items just like this. However, I dunno what this is, or what it represents.
I will look at it through a loop and see if I can find a hallmark though.

Its Sterling.

Ok, so. I took a close look at the pendant. It is indeed a Native American Eagle Dancer. On a close look, I noticed the base with the stone has been added to the above pendant. So, I just googled the Eagle Dancer pendant.
Look what I found

If you scroll down. You will see the exact same charm.
Fun to research the items you find.

So, looks like someone got the pendant. And added it to the silver base with the stone. So, its probably a homemade item. Or, a country fair or Saturday Market item that is custom made.

It was deep in the sandy gravel in a river. I used a home made scoop to get it out. I cut a small gas can you can buy at a store in half. Leaving the handle. Drilled holes and made a nice little scoop for five bucks. Works great for beaches and rivers. Though, I need to make one on a stick if I am gonna do more water hunting. ITS FUN!
Think Im gonna buy a cheapy water hunting machine.
