So those from Washington state will know what this is. There’s an old house on a farm that I got permission to detect. It is probably very late 1800s house. Abandoned. Away we have a fair here every year called the Washington State fair. It used to be known as the Puyallup fair. It started in 1900. So I took about 20 minutes and just ran through this yard real quick and found a toasted wheat penny. Couple pieces of Junk and this cool pendant I guess you could call It. It says Puyallup fair across the top. On the bottom it says Puyallup Washington 1908. And there’s some kind a picture of something on there I can’t tell. It may be the roller coaster but I don’t know if that was in yet in 1908.Anyway fairly early as far as the fair is concerned. Can’t wait to get the time to hit it seriously now there was a lot of signals going on.

Nice piece of history, congrats! :occasion14:
 

Cool Find .. I think the image on that type of medallion was pretty universal, and yours probably looked like this one.
