Old cameo found

[dfxdude]

I posted this on my states forum, but thought it was unique enough to post here also. It VDI'd at solid 83, Looks to be copper with silver layer topped by a coating of colorization, most of which is gone. It was 6" deep in dry sod beyond the outfield fence of a school baseball field near some old and large cottonwood trees. There are posts on the back where a stickpin was used to attach to clothing. You can see the outline of the woman on the back side. I had to clean some crud from the edges of the copper, but the shiny part of the face was almost like it came out of the ground, just used some soap, water and a toothbrush.
