Old necklace

[Hillbilly Prince]

Already solved Actually, I am wondering if anyone has seen something like this. I found it in a flea market long ago in Arkansas. Maybe gave a buck for it.
The little gold flakes packed inside look like gold but who knows. The chain seems as delicate as a spider web strand.

Knotts Berry Farm here in SoCal had a trough of seeded dirt that you could pan for a price. No black sand and light dirt so easy panning. My dad had us panning Holcomb Creek before we were 5 so us kids knew about "Pockets" You could dip your own pan or have them fill it for you. We of course went to the areas where the water turned the corners as it ran through and got a good shape of the bottom. We loaded up! They had to give us all of our fines. They didn't like it.

They must have hated seeing you guys show up

Does have weight now that you mention it. That particular flea market was owned by a guy who had tons of stuff, bought whole estates, went to auctions.
He already had more money than he knew what to do with and did not spend a lot of time sorting stuff.
My brother and I would shoot the breeze with him.
He had a few items that were high because they were rather rare or popular. He knew what his big ticket items were worth.
The diameter is less than a dime so not a huge lot of gold really.

Awesome piece as is [emoji1360]

Those grains of gold and a possible gold ring my old man found are all the gold I have.
I think it would look great on a lady. Simple and elegant.

My wife still has hers she said it was in the bottom of the jewelry box.

It was a one time shot,after we left they changed their policy to: They dip the pans You could no longer dip your own. I don't remember how much we got because we were young but I remember them all getting a little sideways on my older brothers pan. My Dad kept the gold so "we wouldn't lose it" I wonder if my dad still has it. When gold started going up in the 70's they took out the attraction. I guess it no longer "Panned" out Oh I kill me
