Pendant from Volleyball courts

Got to detect a volleyball court Sunday. Found a few clad coins and this little pendant. If anyone knows what it is I would appreciate it.

My first thought was that you found some sort of Wiccan charm with a pentagram. It definitely looks Celtic to me. Cool find!

Actually, I believe to Wiccan/Pagan types it's called a "Pentacle" if one of the five star points is pointing up, and a "Pentagram" if two points are pointing up. The difference is much like a cross, or an upside-down cross to a Christian.

Tho from how ornate it is I would say it was worn as a display of celtic knotwork rather than any religious icon.

Nice find

Too close back up a little and shoot!

In program... crop and save around pendant, it should come up clear.

Looks cool whatever it is, masons!

If anything it's Wiccan or Pagan, but in today's world there are alot of people wearing pentacles without knowing their religious significance.

I would bet money whoever wore this did it because they thought it "looked nice".

wiccan---- "good witch " type healer person / star on the front "point up" --- if the the "point" was downward it would mean the worship of "evil" ------with a clectic knot pattern on the rear ---new age type healer type or "white witch" --strong believers in "natural meds" and good feeling / heal types ---kind hippish normally in many cases ---the celtic people used a lot of very ornate knot work desings as "religious symbols" with various meanings ---folks to day of wear them without knowing anything but their "pretty"---there was a time long ago when wearing one would get you burned to death as a "witch"---- Ivan
