My best day of finding silver yet. Just a month into the detecting game! The sixpence is really cool it is like curved, has holes. Maybe part of necklace or bracelet?
-1953- D Franklin half dollar
-sterling heart earring
-1943- D Austria sixpence?!

pa brought some of those Australia 6 pence with the convex shape back from WW2 and yes they were a popular homemade bracelet.

Okay cool! I wonder what it is curved for?

Being curved was a style that they made. They are almost like the shape of buttons. My wife has a sixpence bracelet that has every coin "curved". Very popular in the first half of the 20th century.
