| Hello Wezzie!
I would say that what we see here are images of Greek origin. My first thought was that it is relating to the journeys and adventures of Odyseus - however that is just a guess at best.
I would want to think that it is not made of silver judging from your pictures but I can't tell for sure.
How old do you think that it is? I would have guess about 15 - 100 years?
A very unique find! I hope we can bring some light into its past.
Do you have any idea how it may have come into your garden
Best wishes,
Christian | |

Others have mentioned it being of Greek origin. I have done the magnet test on it and it doesn't stick but, I would think that if it was silver, it would of had a marking on it.
I can't pinpoint the age of it however, I live on a farm that is 150 to 200 years old apparently. Our farm was the first to come to this area. When I say Garden, It was in where we have turned part of the field into our vegtable garden. So, originally, it was part of the field.
There was was a log home built on this land there is no longer there. I only found this out a few days ago. Can't wait to detect it once the crop comes off.
With the fields being ploughed yearly, who knows where it was originally lost.
It is lightweight Dean.
I thought about it being a childs play necklace but, You'd think it would have pictures geared towards a child and not what you see here in this case.
I didn't think of the journeys and adventures of Odyseus. I'll try to do some research on that.
Thanks for your thoughts Christian & Dean
and you too Owl ( Funny Guy)
