Found this little Jews Harp yesterday, on pasture land at around 5" deep

Never found one before, so was wondering if there's any way to date these little finds ?

I've always known it as a Jaws Harp, for obvious reasons, but I see many people giving it a different name. Perhaps someone could put me on the correct track. Thanks

They were always called a Jew's harp because they're documented in the bible (oldest recorded musical instrument) and they were probably introduced by people returning from the crusades but as with so many things in the last 20 years or so political correctness has gone mad (sorry mentally ill) and they changed it to jaws harp Undecided

Well this has just sparked a debate between my better half and I she says the name comes from the French word for toy "Jeu" so I consulted good old Wiki and it says that the names Jews, Jaws and Juice have all been used since at least the 18th century  Huh
