Silver and Mystery medallion! Almost 2 3/4 " diameter (very big).

I went to a curb area by a parking area, where a mansion once stood. I got a nice reading and it was about 10" down under a small flat rock. The medallion popped out and I was a little surprised since I had already covered that area with my old reliable MD.
Thanks for looking!

I looked it up on line and I think the name on it is jacabus jones virtas in ardua tendit, but I could not find much besides that.
