Sterling beaver

[Heavygold4me]

Found this sterling beaver pendant in knee deep water at the beach today. I wish I could have found the chain, I’m sure it would have been heavy. It rang up like a quarter on the manticore but it was a jumpy signal.

Excellent find! Love the sound of silver. I'm sure there's a joke in here about being busy, lol. Congratz!

Super find, Congratulations!

Great find ! Congrats !
I know you're bummed that you couldn't find the beaver's chain, but don't let it "gnaw" at you.

That's an actual exit sign north of Detroit Mi. Getting the road to road to fall on the 69-mile marker had to be some serious planning by the engineers.

Nice one🏴‍☠️ I think the chain is gone away, because the color of pendant said that and many layers of sand washed away many times.
Best of luck next spin🏝️

Nice find!

I believe what you found is a Boy Scout Silver Beaver award, it originally didn't have a chain, it would of had a ribbow,

Here's one on eBay with the ribbow.

Very good.

Girl I met in college should have received one of those. One GREAT beaver.

Nice. It is indeed a Boy Scout award as @AU Seeker says, introduced in 1931 as a pin-on medal to be worn on the pocket. Due to the heavy weight, it was switched to a neck ribbon in mid-1932.

Those marked ‘STERLING’ with a stylised lower case ‘r’ like yours were produced by the Robbins Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts between about 1950 and 1960.

Damn, that’s it. I was wondering why anyone would wear a pendant that bulky. It’s amazing how much knowledge is shared on this forum.
