I was lucky that I didn't damage it, as I was digging pretty deep in a fist wide hole in hard, dry sandy-clay. Standing on it's end I found this old crucifix with the attachment ring split. Probably why it was lost. It is marked "MECHOEN MEXICO 0925".
I could not find Mechoen as a place or maker and wondering if anyone knows. I found some things on Etsy marked that way as well, nothing on ebay when I checked.
Anyway, I'm going to have something silver this month.
