It's real small............is it rare?
Had about an hour to hunt tonight before dark so I went to one of my local defunct ball field/picnic groves. I had lost hope for this field earlier this year because the finds had dried up but it's one of the few fields in my area that is not used for baseball, football, soccer or any other sport so I know it's always available to hunt. Last week I found a 1957 silver Rosie one night and on another night I found a three nickel spill that included a 1914 Buff, a 1915 Buff and a 1905 V nickel.
Tonight I found one whole memorial penny before the Etrac gave me a consistent 12-09 from two directions and I thought what the heck...what's one more pull tab for the night. Instead of pull tab I found this tiny religious medallion. A quick internet search told me this is the symbol of a religious congregation known as the Passionists. The reason I ask if it's a rare find is the following quote I found in Wiki:
"There are 2,179 Passionists in 59 countries on the five continents, led by a superior general who is elected every six years."
Here's the little medallion:
Here's it is with a Buffalo nickel for size comparison:
Was wondering if anyone else ever found this piece?
