How would that earring be worn? Around the outside of the ear?

 

Very good question. I presume the coin is used to provide scale. I'm as to the use of MD in the title.

 

Its not a ring, its too big, not a bracelet, too small..LaCointessa, I have no idea..

 

Probably Galba found those two items and posted them for us to ogle. But yes, the coin does provide scale.

 

LOL, Me either but well...now you've done it. I'll have to look and search and hunt and find out what the dickens it is!

 

Thanks, LC..

 

You fell into the trap also. I'm on the hunt too because I am curious. Thanks alot @galba68

 

Well, here is a start and i'll work on it over the weekend.

METAL DETECTING! And Galba finds allllll sorts of wonderful things!

 

@galba68 What is the circumference of the item and diameter of the coin?

 

The widest inner part is 35 mm in diameter..

 

Sorry for my ambigous question. What is the circumference of the "earring"?

 

Diameter is 35 mm..A friend told me that this was a children's silver bracelet..Sounds reasonable to me..

 

Children's bracelet was the direction I was leaning. That is why I asked for the circumference.

 

A 4 1/4" circumference would be appropriate for a child's bracelet, so that is my opinion.

 

Identifying ancient artifacts is absolutely not my forte. But from the first time I saw the photo this morning, I immediately thought of some sort of tack for a horse or other beast of burden.

 

Glad you solved the question as it frees my brain from one task! Thanks for letting us know!

 

@galba68........Cool finds!....Lovely little bangle but that coin is sweeeet too!
Congrats..
