Default An Earring and a ???

Got over to the nearby park for a bit tonight. Not much being dug from the ground by me tonight, though this silver earring was my first find. I ended the night with this whatchamacallit. It's about the diameter of a quarter with the raised numbers "47". No idea what it might be.

Nice silver. I wonder if the 47 is from a firefighter's hat.

the fireman hat pin or whatever was my first thought too, but only because it's red and white. The shape doesn't really seem like it would be, does it?

Whatever it is, I like it!

I was leaning towards Steve's fireman theory, now I'm also leaning towards his small numbers on a license plate theory.
