Solid Gold Loop

[curbdiggercarl57]

Dug this at an 1900's trash pit. Had it tested, and it's 14kt. The areas that were cut have been filed smooth, showing no attachments. My buddy suggested that it may be part of a loop for hanging Victorian jewelery. I think possibly a part connecting a watch to a chain. Weight is almost 5 grams. Looked real nice in the dirt when we were digging.

Looks like an ear ring with the spring latch missing

Had it down as an earring too lol. Good ID 4H. Shame the rest of it wasn't still attached.I'd go back and dig a little deeper!

The gold is nice, but that 1893 V nickel is REAL nice. Nice Finds! Great identification of the watch loop, too.

They will not trust you around tot-lots after you have it modified into a nose ring.

That is fine, but STAY OUTTA MY TURF!
