Short hunt in Philadelphia church, cool brooch.

I got permission from Vino to hunt at one of the churches we did together in April. I could not get up there until 11;00, had some things I needed to take care of. I found this then had to run.

Thanks for looking

I do believe you need to ask our brothers across the pond.

It sure would be nice to get an invitation from the City of Brotherly Love, wouldn't it, Chris?

Nice find, Treb!

Yes sir! Can u imagine finding a coin or relic that was possibly in the hands of Ben franklin? Philadelphia is such a major city in the history of this country, the possibilities are endless!

They are not my sites to invite others, I'm lucky I'm hunting there as much as I am. You could ride 3 and a half hours and lake hunt with me?

Thank you, Treb, but I was only joking.....people who know me would tell you that me being serious is a rare occurrence. If Vino is securing permission for these sites, I think I would buy him breakfast at least once per week, lol.

Beautiful find Treb! :occasion14:

Looks to have some serious age to it too!
It looks similar to one I found back in April.

Thanks, I think it will look real nice at the church along with a few other things I found.

I tumbled this piece for a 12 - 24 hour interval to get it to look this way. It has since taken on a softer patina then what you see here ... the pieces always do after being exposed to the air following tumbling. I've had good success at abandoned church & town hall sites, so you should do well there! :thumbsup:
