Finally got out again and hunted an older area of San Jose . This one school has a tiny park on the corner dating from the early 1900. The first hit I got was a +84 at 8-9 inches . I kept digging down and I saw BIG silver. It looks like maybe part of a jewelry box ? Very ornate detail on it . Any ideas ?

Now that is a big chunk of silver. I have to agree with Dan, looks like there was a spot where a chain would of hung.
