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.

Awesome find, congrats! By the way, was there any clues on it that may lead to the Knights Templar Treasure? Just kidding but it would be intriguing if there was some sort of code included on the pendant.

hirstmusic; there is actually a 33rd degree that is attainable. They are pretty rare, and are only awarded to those who have gone above and beyond in the org.

This is a lot more than just a 32d degree medal. It incorporates the Square and Compasses symbolizing the Blue Lodge, or foundation of Freemasonry. Membership in a Blue Lodge is required to become a 32d or York Rite member. The 2 headed eagle is the symbol of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, and the Cross symbolizes York Rite Masonry. There is another unofficial, and frowned upon by some Grand Lodges, symbol alluding to the password of a Master Mason. Here is a link to more information.

York Rite and Scottish Rite Pendant
