1909 Hudson Valley Firemen's Association Three-Part Medal
I'm usually a colonial relic kind of guy, but a friend of mine just bought a mid-1800's house nearby, and I offered to break the yard in for him. I met him at the property at three this afternoon, got him set up on my dfx, and had barely turned on my se pro when i got a classic deep coin signal, and called him over to have look. That signal proved to be a dateless Standing Liberty quarter. Woo-hoo.
After a coupla hours, I had managed a nickel trifecta, beginning with a V, an 1882 indian, and several wheatie pennies, which are not pictured here, as I gave them all to my friend. He had to go to band practice at five, but I perservered, and was rewarded with this amazing three-part medal from the 1909 Hudson Valley Firemen's Association Convention in Hudson, NY, which is about a half hour north of where I found the medal. 2009 has been a big year for us river folk, as it is the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's voyage up the river that now bears his name, and it's pretty cool to unearth a local artifact from the tercentennial.
Thanks for looking, and happy hunting, dwayne
