Thought I was digging another quarter the minelab 705 was reading a steaqdy deep 42, solid 42. At 8 inches out comes this. 1884 centennial medal (1784 to1884). Just goes to prove you never know what you will find in them socker fields.

It realy had my heart pounding when it came out of the ground. Thought I had a 20 dollar gold piece. Found out today from reading google look up, that ; it was patterned after the 20 dollar gold piece. It's solid copper they did commission 3 silver ones and no one knows where they are now.
