I was given permission to detect the church grounds under the condition I’d return anything historically related to the church.
Fr.Chris thinks all the medallion’s I found should be returned, so here’s another.

Love the medals. Nice recoveries.
I've always wanted to detect a church. Just haven't had the nerve to ask yet I guess.
I had a lady a few weeks back that wanted to keep everything I found. Makes you not want to even detect. I didnt find much because someone had been there before me.
Yesterday I detected a yard across the street from that house. Nice lady, but I believe the same person may have beat me too it. Super clean yard on an early 1900's house is not a good sign. Found two modern pennies, and squeeked out a beautiful green patina 1910 wheat penny in an ivy area. Probably the nicest wheat I've ever dug actually.
I walked away with with my tail tucked after two hours. Oh well, on to the next.
Thanks so much for the post. :icon_thumleft:

Very nice avatar.
Here are all the medallion’s I found on the church property this year. I was asked to hold on to them until a display case was ready. The one is part of a Rosary.

Congrats on the nice recoveries and what you finding for your church. I just got a church & school house permission today by accident today. I went to ask if I can metal detect a house property and the person at the house said no but that he manages the church & school property across the street and that I am welcome to detect it. He told me all he like me to do is text him a picture if I find anything nice so he can show the members.
