got out with Frank for a few hours.took him to one of my sites that has been pounded in the past by me,rcat & sniffy.
today i got in the cellar hole and worked the lip of the hole from inside.
it paid off in a few finds.
a barrel tap,a old fork, a broken pewter shoe buckle frame portion and what i thought was a piece of pocket watch guts at first but rubbed it and suprise :o it's real silver and hand etched with what looks like a pope on one side and the other side looks like it may be saint Anne or saint Anthony holding a flower.with initials SA.
i don't know how old this silver piece dates back to? but,the etching looks to be that age and it's a 1780's site.this may be a "one of a kind" medal?

Oh boy, that solid silver medal is killer! I bet it dates to the late 18th century! I hope you can get a true ID on it!

Re: COLONIAL HAND MADE CATHOLIC MEDAL?

I'm thinking BANNER ! on the religious medal , the depiction of a pope , while possible - could
also be Christ , you may well be right about the Saint Anne guess . I'm sure there are many on
this site who will offer their knowledge of Christian/catholic symbolism . Great finds ! Argentium.

Re: COLONIAL HAND MADE CATHOLIC MEDAL?

That sure beats the heck out of the usual old finds! I'm all about early military, and Colonial period coins, but something like that would totally make my day.

Re: COLONIAL HAND MADE CATHOLIC MEDAL?

Very cool religious artifact. I am anticipating someone to nail it down for you. It is possible that it was personally made as you say. I wish you the best.
