Sterling locket found

[neodetectorist]

Talk about needle in a haystack. The AT Pro sniffed out a keeper today.
This small Sterling locket with a hallmark from Uncas Mtg Co.
They started using the U with an arrow through it in the 20s.
Any idea what year this was made?

Hard to tell the age for me anyway but that's a cool find those AT Pros are great machines. Good job on sniffing that bad boy out. Tommy

It looks like it will open up more on each side. Any pics inside? Gary

Congrats on the locket. Like Todds Point said, does the locket open?

Nice find on the Silver locket. Congrats! Just how tiny was it?
Suggestion... a penny/dime next to item for size reference. Thanks!

There may have been at one time but nothing now.

It just opens up like a clam.

Yes it squeaked at about 80-82 on the AT Pro.

Sorry about that. I usually do reference my finds.

Wow! That is tiny. Nice work squeaking that silver out. Thanks for sharing.

I believe that sterling silver had to be stamped in accordance with the law in 1906. I that helps, at least somewhat.

Very nice. That is a tiny one.

Very nice. Is that some sort of gem stone in the middle? My eyes aren't so good anymore. I hope someone can shed some light on its age. I found a similar sized locket with my AT Pro, though it was not sterling and had no markings. I have yet to place an age on it. As much as I love relics, coins are so conveniently dated. Good luck and congrats!
