While searching for lost earring I found this........UPDATE

[Nashoba]

I was searching for a lost gold earring yesterday at a local park that dates back to the early 1900's.....It is has been hunted over and over and over. Well, we never get it all do we? I got a very srong dime hit reading 8 inches and I was thinking maybe a merc?
Well, it was no merc but it was this!
I posted on the What is it forum as well, because of the stamp on the back. It appears to be quite old and the stone is truly amazing

UPDATE........... had the pendant looked at, but I was NOT going to pay $75 for an official appraisal!!! The guy did look at it and said it is a single crystal opal and the stone alone was valued at around 4 hundred Dollars. He could not identify the makers mark either and was pretty puzzled. Of course he wanted to buy it for $200......I THINK NOT!
