Tesoro Treasure!

Nothing great, but what the heck!

A very cool medallian! I wonder if it is from the 1800s? Looks almost Masonic.

Thanks Terry! I found it near a gold mine that brought in millions of dollars to the Inland Empire area in the 1860's (here in SoCal). I was able to get some info on all of the symbols except the two matching symbols on the side. They look almost arabic or hebrew to me. Some say it is a masonic medallion, others say it is a good luck talisman that wards off evil spirits and diseases, due to the abracadabra logo. The 'vulcan salute' symbol is actually an ancient jewish priestly blessing. I would love to find out what it really is. Someone told me it could be from the 1950's? Sure doesn't look like it to me though!

That is definitely an option of what it could be. Another idea people had was that its a room tag to a motel. I did find that token to a motel and a broken up key that wasn't in the video, so that is what I thought

Hey Bobby is it brass?

Is it heavy for it's size? It looks like brass to me. Maybe you can do a streak test on a piece of unglazed porcelain or ceramic (bottom of coffee cup or toilet tank lid). Scratch it on the porcelain, and see what color of streak it leaves.

I don't think it's that heavy, but I'll see what I can do when I get a chance
