Here's my only find from yesterday. on surface in a flat fieldstone embankment.
Figured it was boy scout, or some other group.
After researching slogan, all I find is a Medal for Trinity College,Kandy in Sri Lanka. with the exact match.
This piece is finely made and quite heavy, 14 grams 35MM H X 28mm W.
was found within 100 feet of a 1898 Mckinley medallion, an 1864 MCclellan medallion,
and a 1919 Nh Service in World war Cross Medal, previously posted, imagine it was the site for political gatherings/awards in portsmouth.
My issue is that I cannot find an image! anywhere!
Usually my searches are productive, not in this case. Here's a lead:

Hope You can help with this item! thanks & great digs to you all! Herbie.

I'm not sure this is definitely the Ryde Medal. I do see how the searching would lead to that. But I did some quick newspaper archive searching and I have found that slogan used a number of times in regard to awards given by US schools.
