Found this nice piece detecting over the weekend.  No clue what it was.

No idea of scale but it could be part of a "lorgnette" or spectacle:9a4d5c72c797e55a78deead04f753030--filigree-lenses.jpg.3f5a76cd65578c3d465313098b4171ea.jpg

It could also be a salt holder handle:702_1of1_1000x.thumb.jpg.b40c54fd643c2d892a7e4ae5af1f92ea.jpg

Cool and unique find. 👍

Looks like it was the end of a handle to something for sure.

Nice find and a great save, good luck on your next hunt.

Awesome find, Stering! Is that wood or rusty metal protruding from the bottom. Because the angle of the oval part is offset a bit and looks rounded inside, I was thinking it could be from a pair of very fine sewing scissors.

After clean more around the edges it states "terling", but the place where the s would be there is a blob of, what looks like silver.

Rust of some sort.

So it could have been from small steel scissors with sterling finger grips that possibly broke off when the steel rusted away.
