Old Park Hunt (Gold)

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.

Very cool. Go to Rubylane.com and search for Mason Pendant. They have quite a few for sale, and you may find a match to yours.

As a Mason, All I can say is AWESOME, Do you know if the man or his family
is still around? I know that it would mean a great deal for them to get it back

The great nephew just bought it from me last night. He was so excited to see such a fine piece of family history. The name was inside and it also said Pittsburg Consistory. I would say this guy was high up in the Masons. I was going to sell it to the local museum, but decided to find a family member instead.
