Francis Asbury Methodist Medallion & 6 Button Day !!
I am beginning to believe these coastal rockpiles that I search are the ballast loads of old ships, abandoned, & most of the wood rotted away.
The the most recent one I've discovered has many coral heads along with the usual bowling ball size stones, these are a long way from home.
Two of the buttons below were sitting in plain veiw on the surface.
The lower middle is a convex Eagle, I can just see the bundle of arrows,
The 'spoked' button is 'Warranted Superior', I can find no markings on the others.
Well, I have included several photos with different lighting & focus of this medallion,
slightly larger than a quarter, has 2 concentric lines of script, I can make out some individual letters, but nothing I can form words from, is it a Founding Father,
a Jolly Roger, or Frankensteins Monster?
I've spent a while examining this, & have gotten nowhere. (my eyes are getting old)
No backmark that I can see, When found, I assumed it was a drilled counterfeit HP, and into the pocket it went, when I got home & looked again, I said Hmmm,
This may be more significant than I thought...
Suggestions & Theory are most Welcome ! Thanks for looking & HH,
Herbie.
