Can you post a pic of the back? Did you find it with a metal detector or by eye? Looks like a pretty nice find.

It looks as though it may have been a ring with the band broken away as both sides have broken areas.

Neat paigeellen.

Neat find! Can you tell us what part of the world you are in? It may give a clue!

 

[Erik in NJ]

It's a nice find! I'm not sure what it was though. What state are you in? You might want to post it on the "What Is It?" forum.

Uk. Southampton!

I believe it belongs to a walking stick. My brother has some of these from his walking stick from when he came back from Europe after his stint in the Air Force;

So do you think it could be worth anything? Or how old could it be? I'd like to no I there's any history behind it ! Thanks

You asked is that a find you found?
I find it is a find you found!
Often I have found a find,
I'll tell you where my finds were found.
Most often they were in the ground!

You'all should know I really hate myself for this kind of thing, but my Father's family was Irish and sometimes I just can't help actin' the maggot and slagger, especially when the Wife's got the headache and there's nothin' else to do here at three in the mornin'.

Not much money wise, but a slightly different find from the norm & one I don't have yet.

I would suggest clean it up and attach to a hiking stick I believe that was it's intended use.

Do they make these for American trails? What a cool idea. We hike a lot and for some odd reason I have never seen these.

German love hiking, "Wandern" it's called and the senior "Wanderer" usually use a walking stick, called "Wanderstock", covered with these and/or a hat covered with pins, it's a prestige matter I think...

I want to be a Senior Wanderer now! And I want lots finds like this one to show off! Maybe T-Net should offer this type of thing to be attached to detector shafts for member status graduations! Look at me! See my detector badge! I'm a full member on T-net!!!
