Something Different

[River Rat]

I was doing the happy dance all afternoon Had to get out of the house, even if it was cold. I just scooted around my yard, in the area of my son's sand box (23 years ago) I found the toy gun. Then to another area of the side yard, I found a 1988 nickel and it was deep...I measured 5 1/2", then I got a beep, beep, chime, chime every noise a MD makes...I started digging and about 2 1/2" this popped up. I'm thinking it's a earring, a dangling one. It had 2 stones that popped out while cleaning, a total of 4 that matched the one at the top. I don't know if it's old, it does look hand crafted...you be the judge. I was thrilled finding 2 different things besides clad & rusty, crusty iron.

If that is a earring, it must be the strangest looking what I have ever seen!

RR..... would it be possible to see the side that is facing right in this above pic please ? Where the filligree is open. It looks like handmade typical of India or maybe Turkey / mid east they use that style of setting the stones and use round cabs like that.
