This was a puzzle hunt. It had been driven over by a tractor doing tree cutting. Got alot of iron targets and just started diggging. Found the main piece first then just kept digging anywhere from a few links to a strand. It's not complete,maybe I'll go back and locate the rest. At the top of the trojan man or whatever you call it, the patent says AUG 16 1879. Needed a loop to see it. Copper core and possible gold or brass gilt.

Nice little cameo necklace. It survived pretty good after being run over lol It's probably plated but a real sweet keeper! thumbsup01

:) Thanks everyone. If I didn't use the dig everything way, I might have passed it up. Went by there the other day and the front of the foundation is way over grown. I'll have to check the back side sometime, see if the tracks are still accessible.
