1865 Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association Award Medal

[hudsonhank]

Recovered on a hill under a big oak overlooking the 1630s millsite area in a small town in Massachusetts last summer. The association was founded by Paul Revere himself to promote the arts ,inventions and new modifications to progress itself.Its a third place bronze being 1 of 200. 1st. place was gold w/ 50 pcs or so, and 2nd place was silver w/ 100. Will do some research for the identity of the award medals owner and wonder if it was purposly buried at the foot of that tree?

Did you clean this, as it looks really nice to have come out of the ground ? Or maybe it was sandy soil, which I have found some spectacular coins in. 159 years in the ground more or less, its beautiful
