Hello everyone, Yesterday I did a 7-hour Dirt Fishing hunt at two locations. Hunter Island and Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx NYC. It was a hot, humid and a bug infested day but when I find the fabulous treasures it is definitely worth the trip! And as usual, no nickels detected! Trifecta of Silver Dimes - (3 of the same denomination but from different series) Late 1700's - Early 1800's Pre Civil war Button 4 Wheats Cents 1830 Religious Medalion Miscellaneous metal objects Everything Joey with my Trifecta 2 Pictures so you can click on and enlarge My Instagram Page picture
Congratulations on the great trip. You found a number of nice items and coins on a hot day. Could the button you found, late 1700’s, be a button from the Revolutionary War?
Must be a thrill to find Barbers. I'm curious how you dated the button. It appears to say TREBLE something, and STAND(ar)D COLOUR (British spelling).
"The front side of the Miraculous Medal depicts Mary Immaculate, her hands open, full of light. St. Catherine Labouré saw Our Lady appear like this and heard her say, “Have a medal made according to this model. Everyone who wears it around their neck will receive great graces.” Mary stands upon the globe as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her feet crush the serpent to proclaim that Satan and all his followers are helpless before her (Gn. 3:15). The year 1830 on the Miraculous Medal is the year the Blessed Mother gave the design of the Miraculous Medal to St. Catherine. The reference to “Mary conceived without sin” supports the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary — referring to Mary being sinless, “full of grace,” and “blessed among women” (Lk. 1:28). The dogma of the Immaculate Conception was proclaimed 24 years later in 1854, and then confirmed when Mary appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France, in 1858."
Thank you for the confirmation of the Blessed Mother Mary Immaculate. God Bless, @derkerlegand. Be safe, stay healthy, and forever happy.
Nice finds Ed! Wishing I was there. I did have some bit of luck myself. Maybe not as good as the "guru", but nice just the same.
