    WOW!!! that's amazing.

    I dug one of those Excelsior medals, BTW. Nicely preserved.

    It's even one of the very few live finds I captured on video.

    (Dug at about 3:40. Photographed and research results at about 11:20.)



    Postscript: since it was a "holey", I hung that medal on my dig cap when I went to England, and it did indeed bring me luck.

    They would attach it to their shoelaces through the hole.

    Joey made some nice finds. Thanks for the post Ed.
    I've gotta praise Rob for doing such a great job cleaning up his dig spots and "making nice" with the "grass guardian" to help promote the metal detecting hobby.
