Was back at a park that I have been working hard for the past couple of weeks. It was cold and windy today. But the sun was shining, so that only meant one thing. Lets go diggin...
After being out there for about an hour, I got this high tone that told me I had deep silver under my coil. This surprised me, as this park isn't that old, but you just know it's going to be something good when you get that special sound in the old ear-phones.
Dug down about 5 inches, and the sound was still deep down in the hole, went down about 3 more inches, and pulled the dirt out and started taking a handful at a time in front of the coil. Then, I saw it. It's the largest St. Christopher medal that I have ever seen. This monster is 1 7/16" in height, and weights 13.0 grams. It's stamped on the back "Chapel Sterling". Does that mean it was made by a church somewhere?
Anyway, I've included a couple of pictures for your enjoyment. One is next to a penny, to give you some idea as to the size of this thing.
Hope all of you struck gold or silver today too.
