2008 DFXONLY Hunt. + Finds From My Neck Of The Woods. Need Alot Of Help Guys

[JerV3]

Hey everyone,

Back with another nice assortment of finds. Had a great time in OH hunting the old boy scouts camp. Got to meet new people and see some familar faces like Mirage and Danimal. I also attached a pic of Mirage helping us clear out some silver.

Me and my brother had a good trip including 11 silvers between us. I need some I mean alot of help with a few of these items though guys.

First is the very large silver pin that was found at a old foundation near my house about a week ago. It is marked sterling on the back and had at one time a large stick pin attached to the back of it. It weighs a hefty 21 grams. The women appears to have a star in the center of her head.

Not the nicest looking thing to wear around back in the day. It was down about 10 to 12 inches between two pines that enetered the site. It seemed like it was purposely burried there for some reason. Can anyone shed any light.

Next is a very large copper or bronze type coin found in OH while on the dfxonly hunt. Not much left of it. Appears to have had a bust maybe on the front of it. Maybe it's not a coin. Could it be a old medal of some sort.

Indians were in this area back in the day. Any idea on this piece woukld be greatly appreciated.

Last but not least came up with a silver coin yesterday at one of my parks. It's quarter sized and has a bunch of funny writings on it. Looks to be a fraternal coin of some kind. Any help here would be great to.

It would take a long time to describe and write everything. Just ask questions and I'd be more than willing to answer.

Also on another note. My 7 yr old son found his first old coin finally. It was a 1900 indian. The only one in the group this time. He goes to me Daddy you miseed this coin. I turned around and seen a indian lieying on the surface. I was so proud of him.

Thanks again,

HH Jer

Jer,token.
I can't give you a definite ID on the token, but those are Masonic symbols, and with the Arabic, I'm thinking it may be a Shriners token.

Thanks alot guys,

No I don't think it was a range. It was a boy scout camp that is still used today by the scouts. Alot of the shells were blanks. They were every where. I wanted to search more for old nickles gold indians. But I wasn't clearing a thousand shells out for them.

I concentrated on more signals that were either deep or sounded good and vdi good. The barber half was about 10 inches down and came in loud and clear.

Thanks DJ, for the lead on the token. I'll build on that and do some more research and see if I can find a similar one. Would be nice to know the age.

Thanks again,

Jeremy

Congrats!

The 4th pic, looks like a Jewish talisman.

I love the Lady pendent the most though.

Thanks alot guys,

The silver coin really looks like a saudi arabian silver coin. I swear the writings on the edge are just like the one's I saw on the net. I couldn't find the same coin though. They all have that little circle in the center of them.

I also saw a old silver bracelet with a bunch of coins with holes drilled through them that looked very similar to this coin. Oh well at some point I'll get a exact i.d on this one.

I think it may be from the 30's or 40's. Once again thanks for all the ideas.
