    Found Gold!!!! I think....

    Okay found this religious item.... It says 1830 but I'm thinking no way its that old but a nice piece anyway. Was 6 inches down on an old property. I'm not Catholic so is the date something that is special to this religion Any ideas on the marks on the back Thanks Brad

    Interesting. I found this the other day. It's tiny. Smaller than a penny.

    You are correct about the date. I remember seeing one like that on here last year. The date has some religious connotation.

    You're right. The date actually represents the year the saint was elected and honored. I have many like this.

    cool find! With the markings someone should be able to help Identify it !!! HH Chug Ok some one posted befor me and it looks like they have Info!!! Chug
    Dear metal detector God,
    Thank you for all the stuff I find, I really appreciate the coins, toys, junk jewelry, old bullets, and all the other neat stuff I find, I try not to complain and cuss when I find pulltabs, foil, and other garbage, and I try REALLY hard to be nice to people who irritate me. I only have one complaint, I have yet to find gold and it's been a year now!

    Nice medallion...even if it's not Gold.

    My experience is about 50 non Gold to 1 Gold medallion (about 10 to 1 for Silver).

    When you find the Gold you'll know it...keep looking.

    Here's my favorite 18K found last year .. marked 750 on the back.
