Silver with religious irony

[halfdime]

I was invited to search a property today that once had a Baptist church on it, and I had high hopes. Several things worked against me, however; the owner wasn't exactly sure where it sat, and he's tried to find pictures without success. Lacking better details, I began at one corner of the property and started searching. I turned up lots of modern coins, but nothing to indicate that a church stood here a hundred years ago. My oldest was a 42S wheat, which doesn't appear to fit the church's timeframe. What I did find of interest was this silver Catholic medallion, not likely dropped by any long ago parishoners and only an inch deep. Also not owned by the property owner, who is Lutheran. I also found a soccer referee's coin, used for a pre-game coin toss. I'm welcome back to the site whenever I like, and I'll probably go; it just won't be with as much anticipation.

Is it wooded property or is it all open? Hit it a few more times and maybe you'll stumble across a "hot" spot. Good luck.

It's relatively small and open, with a house and garage. We theorize that the garage probably sits where the church once did, with the driveway covering lots of old ground.

Nice find !! Maybe the person who owned the Catholic item joined the other team and tossed it. It would be nice if items could tell ya their story.God Bless and HH...Panz
