Found 14k medallion

[Syrena Hunter]

I found this 14k medallion on rock shelf diving in 10ft of water under 3" of sand with my Minelab Excalibur. It has a red gem in it. Not too fancy but better then the dimes and quarters I was digging up . That makes two gold pieces in this swim hole. I'll be bck when the swell calms down!

Sorry, got a little ahead of myself, I now have the picture added, btw, the avatar is the first gold piece I fund at the same swimming hole.

Great find of the St barbara medallion, It looks Similar in design to the one I found!!! See my avatar pic

Now for the other question What is the item on your avatar!!! Looks Cool!! HH Chug

 

[Syrena Hunter]

I noticed your avatar and had to laugh, my first response and you have the exact one as your avatar ....yours is much cooler though. I didn"t have time to research my new find so thanks for letting me know it is a St Barbara. My Avatar is St Lazerus (two dogs licking his wounds and he is on crutches). I'm not sure what it is off of, maybe a bigger two piece medalian. When turned over the figure has solder spots where it was attached to something else

I was thinking that my find might be russian, Now I have a different direction to search in!! Thank you Chug!!!!!

an excellent find. saint barbara was the patron saint of cannoneers. these were the guys that fired cannons. metallurgy was so poor early on you never knew if the cannon would fire or burst. so the men prayed to saint barbara to keep them safe. you can find alot of info on her online. I found one last year near an old english shipwreck.

I Looked closer it looks like it was part of a larger piece like you said A great find

 

[Syrena Hunter]

Thanks for the comments. Chug, I will be returning again to the same spot to look for the remaining piece(s) of St Lazarus. There is a 10 foot deep hole about 20' in diameter. The bottom has about 6-8' of sand so as the tide and storms shift the sand I'm hoping more will be found. I've been using my snorkel gear for the shallow end (where I found St Lazarus) and my SCUBA for the deep hole (where I found St Barbara). I'll keep TN posted.
