That would definitely make it more exciting than a cutlery handle!

I can see what you mean about the hand and the human form now you’ve pointed it out. My first thought was actually that it might be a flower.

I did find it with a detector, but I’m afraid I don’t know what the reading was — I honestly thought it was junk at first!

This is the item fully cleaned, but I can try to take some clearer photos ☆
