1860 Abe Lincoln campaign medal

[Merf]

I found this about a week ago and thought it was junk.
It was covered with a thick green coat of corrosion and unreadable. After 2 hours in the tumbler with a little vinegar and water I could see Abraham Lincoln and the year 1860.
Thanks to BCH for the ID and link and thanks to Johnnyi for the idea to copy and print pics for the center. Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

I was using a Fisher F70 with an 11 inch DD coil.
It was 7 inches deep in a nail infested field site.

Merf,
Fantastic banner find buddy, and with the added picture it looks great. I've always been a big Abe fan, and that relic takes the cake.
You da man!!!

P.S. No IH's?

Thanks Doug


I have found so many Indianheads that I am finding them under my lazy boy, on the garage floor, and under the cushions.

I cant remember where or when I found them. I need to get organized.
