Got out today to a favorite beach. Found a bunch of things including silver Washington, merc, sterling pendant, screwback earring, couple hem weights, 6 spoons, 8 wheat cents, and a bell that reads on one side, "Ring the bells for the Star-Telegram" and the other "Over 30,000 daily Fort Worth Texas". It looks to date any time after 1909 when the Star-Telegram began using that name, but I couldn't find any other bells or anything else. What do you guys think?

The second odd piece is a pendant that has Napoleon Empereur and the back has some writing, but the only thing I can see is 1853. Could this date to then, or is it much newer and the date was put on as a memorial? I couldn't find an exact match online. Found a token on ebay that's similar, but didn't see any pendants. What do you guys think?

Also got 6 spoons, including one for Mary Pickford - an actress in the first half of the 1900s.
