Found a Little of Everything Today

[mrmastadon]

Dodged a hailstorm moving through the area to hunt a park where I pulled an 1898 IHP a few weeks ago. Today's hunt did not disappoint, with a nice variety of finds spanning both age and type. The very first target was a 1942 Washington quarter, (an ugly one, but silver is silver). Next came two buttons -- a tiny one-piece flat button with minimal decoration on the reverse and a "LONDON" backmark (not sure if there were other words that have worn away, or if London is all), and a two-piece US Army enlisted man's eagle button with the "HORSTMANN PHILADELPHIA" backmark (post-1902). I was happy that both buttons had their shanks intact. As I was getting ready to wrap up, I hit another piece of silver, this time a sterling Greek Orthodox religious medallion. Finally, on the way back to the car, the last target was a 1951D wheatie. Nothing crazy, but this was a fun hunt for the variety of it, and I'm always happy to go home with two pieces of silver! Thanks for looking!

The Greek orthodox medallion made me smile...
Kind of like the "I'm a diabetic" medallions so if the bearer is found unconscious they may give him some insulin or sugar as needed.
So the guy who lost this if he was found posessed he could be exorcised by a priest of the correct christian doctrine after checking his pendant...

Nice variety of finds. I remember my Grandpa had a religious medal like that one. He was also a Greek Orthodox. We considered ourselves lucky, because we were able to celebrate 2 different Easters (since Grandma was Catholic). I like that religious medal the best, out of all of your finds.
