Knights Templar Commandery Medal
Found this today about 4" deep in heavy gravel. I've been detecting a little over a year and this is definitely in the top three of "coolest finds." It's a Knights Templar Medal from the Richmond Commandery. It was pretty toasted coming out of the ground - I was just glad I didn't trash it with the digger! Cleaned with a little water and a gentle toothpick and this is what I got.
Question: The date at the bottom says 1823-1922. Can anyone confirm whether or not it's from 1922? My online research is coming up inconclusive. Thanks!
