Interesting piece of jewelry and an Indian

[lostlake88]

This piece of jewelry and the indian head were found about 7 inches deep and were about 6" apart. I first found the jewelry, sounded like a silver dime, then I put the plug back and moved on. I came back to the same spot a little later by happen stance and got another good signal near the jewelry hole and dug an indian. I wonder if they were lost together? The jewel is an emerald for sure set in sterling silver.

Hi I haven't posted anything in forever so forgive me if I mess up . LOL

I believe what you have found in the jewelry is what is supose to be a lyre, a kind of harp. I have a thought, that it could be from Ireland the Lyre is one of their symbols. Here are some links to check out.

Hope this is interesting to you. Cool find BTW!

I can't see for sure, but the jewelry may be the head of a ring broke off. My best guess.
