Todays thingamajigger (better picture)

[just-dig]

I dug this today along with a bunch of other stuff I should have re-buried...lol
It looks like a dragon with what I'm guessing is something written in Chinese at the bottom. Does anyone have any idea what it might say or how old it might be?
Thanks for looking,
Mark

Clearer pic would be helpful

Looks like it has a hangy thing to it, some kind of pendent?

I didn't realize how blurry the pic was until I posted it. I'll try that again tomorrow.
Thanks

I'm thinking it's a watch fob.

When you DO post a clearer picture, post a picture of the back too!

That's the best I can get for a pic. It is copper, wish I knew what it said!
Thanks,

I'm thinking pendant too..
Nice looking.. maybe you can get someone to read the inscription!
My first thoughts were it was lost during the building of a railroad... just a guess!

Interesting thought about the railroad thing. It's not 200 yards from where the rairoad went through in 1880. What made you say lost during the building of a railroad?
