Gravel Finds

[minton7]

The school they are tearing down near me has a playground area(the equipment was sold and is gone)that is all pea sized gravel. No wood chips! I have been scanning the area to keep my coin count up, not expecting to find anything except clad. Tonight I found this neat button..... nothing old I know.... but also found this silver pendant. It is stamped 925 on the back... I can not see if it says sterling.... the writing is so small...... I do not know anything about the stone... The scan doesnt even come close to doing it justice... it is a pretty little thing.... my little girl is now 5 months old and I promised it to her so off it goes into her future coin/jewelry collection.

Very cool little pendant. You should sell it and put the money in an account for her. By the time she's old enough for college she might just have enough to go.

Nice finds....The pendant is pretty , but I agree...start a college fund.

The problem with selling it is that it does not even weigh 1/10 of an ounce... I have a set of postal scales here and it doesn't register on them.......if silver is 15.00 an ounce...... 1/10 would make it 1.50.... since this item isnt that heavy.. it is less than that....... to me the item is worth more than that..... now later on if I had lots of silver to sell.. I might add this item if it was ok with my little girl.....

Nice pendant for sure, congrats!! Selling it as a piece of vintage jewelry on eBay would fetch a higher price. Keep em coming, good luck!

Hey but you are discounting the jewel. That IS a jewel in it, isn't it? Is it something that would make it worth more? Or just CZ or glass or plastic or something?
