Hey folks!:hello: Found this gold Christian Orthodox cross in Dominican Republic during my vacation last month. The day was January 7th that is Orthodox Christmas day. This is my third gold cross found and I consider it my best one! The weight is 2.5 gram. 585=14K . Jewelers from Russia referred this cross to work of Aldan Gold manufacturer in 1996. Thanks.

That is beautiful! I pray for the day I might find one similar.

I did find one last water season, not precious metals, and Mom immediately claimed it. So I no longer have it :(

Congratulations! gold is always a pleasure to find. This cross was produced in the 80's, as the brand stands the USSR.

Thanks Alex. I think you re right cause of the USSR symbol is there whereas the country collapsed in 1991 so 80-s is more likely than 90-s.

Amazing find! Congrats!

Thanks Bro. I also spend time for checking what confession it was related to cause in Russia there are many different confessions. The difference between Catholic and Christian orthodox is the number of nails on crucifix. Catholic ones has three nails whereas Orthodox cross has four nails. As we can see there are four nails so it is the Christian Orthodox cross 100%.

Absolutely not pushing anything here, but don't you think that finding a cross like yours means a little bit extra to the spirit we walk with daily?

Our Father thank you for the blessings and treasure we find.
