That's Fasinating.
I wonder what they all signify.

Whatever they mean- or meant in years gone by,
you can bet they were very treasured items to whomever lost them.

Wahoo great finds. I've found one very similar in a park right behind a very old Catholic church.

Good find Crow. I have found a few in my day and have gotten the same feeling from them as I did a regular piece of jewelry.
