Those old pieces of jewelry/relics are fascinating ... if only they could talk - what wonderful stories they could tell. 
Neat locket!

Anything we find that is not a definite date can of course been dropped on an older site and not be from that period, however, the same goes true with the one you have, it is possible it was in a family for a long time and given to a granddaughter who wore and then lost it.
There is another reported found at a CW site on another forum, so does that make it Civil War era, 50 years old or from around 1800. Hard to tell what the age is, but almost anything like that made from late 1800's on usually have some type of markings. Also, the way it is constructed is very similiar to one pictured in Newmann's Encylopedia of the American Revolution.
Either of the three ways, it is in good shape and a nice relic.
