Last weekend I visited my parents. They have never let me dig in the yard. Anyway I decided to do just a real quick sweep and I hit a couple of good sounding targets. I told my Dad and he said grab the shovel and let's see what it is. My first target was a cool medallion. The other hit was a coin spill all dating to 1981. Clad ugh. Anyway it was fun and I broke the ice.

Must have been fun to be out there with your parents, regardless of finds. Hopefully that will get them into the hobby!
 

That medallion looks like a Cub Scout Pinewood Derby medal. I had a couple of those in my youth.
 

Ha, I just convinced my in-laws that I wouldn't tear up their yard just poking around. Understand the situation, thanks for sharing!
 

How next time you come over your parents will be combing their yard with detectors lol
 

Keith Jackson is correct. That is a Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby Medallion. It would have gone to a first, second or third place winner. Of course these days they may give them out to everyone just for participating.
