Stopped by an old swimming hole today for a quick hunt. This Lake was once a very popular place being that it was part of an old Resort Hotel, that was once part of the borscht belt in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. Not even 5 minutes into swinging my storm coil and I got a high Silver hit. Dug down about 3 inches and pulled out this Vintage Sterling Silver Virgin Mary Pendant. Awesome find, I love how silver sounds on the A/T Pro!!!

Very nice. They made them in silver plate also. Glad yours says sterling on it. You might not know it but never scrap them. They do sell for a premium on Fee-Bay. That is one find I used to sell with great results. Should be more silver and hopefully gold where that came from

That medal acknowledges the apparition of Mother Mary in Paris, France, on November 27, 1830.
Beautiful save

It's a little known rule that if you were not devoutly religious before you found a vintage religious medallion with your metal detector, that you must become devoutly religious now.

In nomine patri et fili spiritu sancte, brother!

We all need a hundred blessings now and then. That should maybe have been on the exceptional page, but i have never nominated anyone.
