Default My first piece of Jewelry

Headed out to a park today and within 20 minutes had 2 quarters then got kicked out I politely informed the worker that I had checked and there was no written city ordinance on MDing and he said it was a park rule. He said 'Couple years back we had a guy digging holes all over the place'. Although I was pretty PO'd about being kicked out so soon and at the previous MDer who left all the holes, I had to laugh to myself because as he was asking me to leave, he was standing on 2 different plugs I had dug and filled without realizing.
Onto park #2. Lots of clad, trash etc. Found a pin, modern, but too rusted to tell what it was from. Then I found my first piece of Jewelry! A charm from a necklace. After I dug it out and brushed off the dirt I thought it was some cheesy pewter piece. I got home and found a name on the back ‘Sarah Cov’. 2 minutes on Google and I find its ‘Sarah Coventry’ and potentially old, 1950's. At the time it was considered costume jewelry but today it’s pretty collectible. No crazy auction type prices but a moderate $15-$50.
