A four-way sterling medallion

[McCDig]

The hunt this afternoon started off with Sterling though I wasn't certain until preparng the post. The obverse makes it quite clear that the indented space bears the word "STERLING".
.
The two oldest coins dug are this "no-date" Buff and a toast '18 wheat .

Got a shotgun brass base and this .32 cal pistol ball .

A hole that yielded a broken entwined hearts ring also had a small oval silvered piece that fit over one of the hearts; it was found free in the same hole .

Dug the smallest pocket knife ever for me and it was a promotional piece for a Baltimore used car dealer, Weber & Greenwalt Motors on Belair Road. Thanks to Kilduff's Baltimore history website I have a photo of this dealership on Eastern Avenue .
Here's the little pocket knife .

Got some unidentified brass pieces and an oval brass piece with fancy design and a hint of gilt .

Congrats McCDig. A beautiful piece. I've never seen a Medalion like that before. Looks to have been a very nice hunt. SD

Nice finds that medallion is really really cool I love stuff like that. Well done my friend!!!!!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks SD! It sure was good to get out and swing for an afternoon.

Thanks Tommy! The medallion and the Buff were pretty close to one another, maybe 15 feet, but the nickel was down only an inch.

Nice finds! That sure is a small knife!

Congratualtions on the nice finds!

I like the multi-saint prayer appeal!! Funny! Might as well throw a few more saints on the charm, just Incase.

Congratulations on some awesome finds. Great medallion and that is a neat little knife.

Great finds, McD! The medallion sure is cool, never saw one like that. I got back on an 1804 house/log house yesterday, the first time back since I got rained out my first time there. Took my detecting buddy in hopes of loading up on old colonial copper, silvers etc...Didn't find squat!! Spent three hours there, the oldest coin found was a '51 wheat. Scraped up a couple old relics but hopes of this being a virgin site soon dissipated after finding nothing the first hour. Obviously been hit hard, tried different settings, ran All Metal, full sensitivity and dug a bunch of DEEP iron. Congrats on your dig! Ddf.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks ddf! It was good to get out and swing, as you found at the log cabin. Great to share that with a friend! Glad you got a couple relics there, though it's a puzzle that much else wasn't to be had.

Thanks BLK HOLE! Tiniest knife I've found and it was cool to find a reference to the used car dealer from the 50s.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks CoinFetcher! With it being a four-way cross we have our "bases covered". You started it!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Professor! Great to find some silver and also a couple relics. Same spot as where the 2-cent piece was dug.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Trezurehunter! The Buff surprise me. A definite "12" on the Equinox but about an inch deep!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks gold boy! Agreed. 4 hours of gridding and a handful of good finds.

Thanks Whyme! OK, I'm a little slow on the uptake. I just figured out your avatar tonight!
