Old Park Hunt (Gold) updated

Went out today to hit the Old Park again today. I was with a new detecting buddy. He just got his first detector yesterday and I was giving him some tips. He was following me around so when I got a good tone I wanted him to hear what to listen for in a good tone. The area we were hunting was a area that several good detectorist have gone over the past few weeks including me. I got a low tone that was very iffy. I thought it might be a pull-tab or a nickel. I decided to dig it and am I glad I did. It turned out to be a 32nd Degree Mason Pendant from I believe is from about 1880's. This is known by the owners name which is engraved inside. My buddy heard me calling out saying I found gold. He just chuckled and thought I was joking at first till he looked at my face. He came over and could not believe it's condition. I am still shaking over it. Happy Hunting.

Nice addition to the collection. Very sweet find.
 

that's gotta be a very rare find ! Any luck in tracking down the family ?
 

that is an absolutely fantastic piece! what's the weight of it?
 

Look like a "Terriffic!!!!" find shouldn't this be a Banner type item?
 

Now that's some pretty serious Masonic bling. Nice find.
