Arrrrr. 'Tis the lost key to the wreck of the "Mary Poppins". You have to place it in the proper rock depression at the proper time of day and the Sun will reflect on the spot where there will be more clues.

On the back it is bronze colored and has a stamp that I cn barely read, it might say "Pinnicle by design" "Tawain"?

That's a great pendant, thanks for posting it. Do you know the history of the Jolly Roger? I'll give you a hint, it's connected to the Templars.

Which one? Most pirates had their own design.

Captain Tew's (one of the first "official" pirates) looked like this:

Bartholomew Roberts (the one who authored "The Code" in the third Disney movie for you Johnny Depp fans).

My favorite: Cap'n "Calico Jack" Rackham (My dog's AKC registered name is "Captain Calico Jack")

My guess its modern. Maybe from or related to "Pirates of the Carribean."
Can you take a picture of the back?

Charlie, I was refering to the skull and crossbones.

And I should also state that the Templar theory is just that. one possible theory. The Templars have had a lot of things attributed to them over the centuries. ne thing is historical fact though, the Templars were enormously wealthy and when they were rounded up on Friday the 13th, 1307, the Templar fleet escaped along with the Templar treasure. To this day, it has never bee located and it remains one of history's great mysteries. Here's a brief synopsis of the theory from Wikpedia:

"In his book Pirates & The Lost Templar Fleet, David Hatcher Childress claims that the flag was named after the first man to fly it, King Roger II of Sicily (c.1095-1154). Roger was a famed Templar and the Knights Of The Temple were in conflict with the Pope over his conquests of Apulia and Salerno in 1127.[4] Childress claims that, many years later, after the Templars were disbanded by the church, at least one Templar fleet split into four independent flotillas dedicating themselves to pirating ships of any country sympathetic to Rome, thus the flag was an inheritance, and its crossed bones a reference to the original Templar logo of a red cross with blunted ends."

Picture of the back of this item- You cant see the stamp that is on the back, but when I hold it up to the sun I can barely make out what it may say: PINNICLE BY DESIGN and then under that it says: TAIWAN
