This Is Different... A 1900 United States Census Badge!

[Centsless Detecting]

Hello everyone. I got out last saturday for a few hours. Wife was working and the kids were at a sleep over. Don't remember the last time I got out on a weekend but its been a while. Went to a new median in a nicer part of town thinking I'd hit it big with some silver. I was wrong, every coin was 1970 or newer except 1 wheat with no date. The wheat was a poor jumpy signal. Seems like someone beat me to this median. But they left me something cool. A 1900 United States Census workers badge. It was a 13-15 on the Nox. Probably why it was skipped over previously. Not pictured is the pin back which was still in the hole.






I found the 63 Rosie at a different median that day. The ground is too dry making digging deep very difficult. I cant wait for the rain to come. I may return to the first median another time but I'm not expecting much. Thanks for looking and happy hunting everyone!

Super cool find! Finding history is what it’s all about for me. I’m proud for you.

Actually nickle plated makes more sense.
Chrome was the first word that came to mind.
