Default Help ID 1909 penny? and Found silver earing

I went to a local field today and picked out of the ground this silver earring. On the inside it says either 825 or 925 and about 2mm to the right it has a C in parentheses. Before the 925 it has something written in cursive, it looks like the word "Jen" but not sure. Actually it looks like a 925 instead of a 825?

Secondly, this Wheat penny I found the other day. I cleaned it up and the more I look at it I believe its a 1909 Lincoln. I used two different magnifying glasses and then I used my 10x achromatic with a little flashlight to get a better look. The third digit I swear looks like a "zero". I placed in the scanner to get a look .

I also found this silver cross and on the back it says "Italy" and it has some bubbling so its prob not silver?

the third digit is round so it has to be a 1909, correct?
Thanks for your help

I looked for the vdb initials and If they are present I can't see them with all the stuff on it. I wish I could get a better picture. Even the scanner which I never use would someone have some suggestions on proper settings for a coin?
