Hi everyone, Met up with my Dad early this mourning.
My sister just moved into a new house. She is renting it but she said I could hunt the yard.
I looked the house up and it was built in 1923. I said to myself it's worth a shot.
I got there and looked the place over. The yard was huge. Probably close to a acre of land.
I started and realized alot of the soil was unnatural. Looked like a pool was in the yard at one time. There was a perfect area leveled out for one.
I guess when they put it in they threw the dirt that came out all over most of the yard.
I didn't get discouraged and just kept hunting. I was looking for some better black top soil.
Well after about 45 minutes one wheat I get a really nice silver hit at about 5 inches. I dug down and before I could lift the plug the medallion you see was on the leche compacted with dirt.
I knew instantly it was silver and old.
I didn't play with it much. I got a few woe's out of everyone and they quickly became believers.
When I got home I thought to myself what a awesome piece of silver. I would much rather have this than a few common mercs.
I don't know anything about this piece.
It is large like a silver half. It looks like it had a reeded edge. Like it could have been made from a coin.
It has neat Indian type designs on the front. I'm guessing a stone was in the middle at one point.
The back says FOP Phoenix 1940.
Is this a piece hand made by someone or a madallion given away. I thought fraternal order of police maybe.
But it seems like a piece of Indian jewelry.
Any thoughts or ideas as what it may be would be appreciated alot.
Thanks for looking,
HH Jer
