While hitting an old abandoned park, my buddy and I didn't find too much, but I did get a nice signal, which turned out to be this interesting silver pendant. It is dated 1900 and has two names engraved on it. Possibly "F. Bachman" on the front, and the back something like "G. Grub" or maybe "E. Erb", but not really certain on that one. Note: the ring is only there for a size comparison.

The silver smith's mark seems to be "H.B.", but I can't make out the symbols below it. I was also wondering if someone could help me understand what the numbers "332399" near the silver smith's mark are for. Is it a serial number? I'm not familiar with these particular numbers for things like indicating the silver content.

Also, I found another puzzler, possibly a brooch of some sort? Any suggestions would be welcome!

Very cool finds. Your silversmith mark/hallmarks looks to be under the numbers. They look like they could have come off a team trophy of some sort. That is just my opinion though.

Again, really cool finds. It is always my favorite part to figure out what it is I have found in some of the older turf.

Congrats,

Greg
