I have been searching that hill for years, many times thay don't mow it so it's hard to search, I have gotten many barber dimes, early IH'S on that hill ...

Maybe you could bring a weed whacker up there , clear some areas yourself - I don't imagine there would be any ordinances against that .

If it is solid gold I'd say banner! Very nice to look at and the old style engraving on the back gives it so much more personality!

It says the lodge No. 32 when I first found it I thought it was a date to, this person must have been a high ranking within the lodge in order to be given gold...
