      my metal detector is about 14yrs old and gave it to my brother because I never find good stuff around here.
      But it would be damn worth the travel and what fun it would be!
      Nothing like actually digging something up like this!
      Great treasures are there to be found!

      I do know that the Peacock is very Imp in India...my dear friend and past boss has told me about the peacock before but can't recall all the info. But you can go online and research..
      National Bird of India
      here some info I found online and I will have to show her this piece you found, she will love it!

      The significance of peacock is attached to cultures of India, Far East, Ancient Persia, Greek and Christian. In Hinduism, the image of the god of thunder, rains and war, Indra, was depicted in the form of a peacock. In south India, peacock is considered as a 'vahana' or vehilce of lord Muruga. The figure of peacock is painted in various Islamic religious buildings. In Christianity, the peacock was also known as the symbol of the 'Resurrection'.
