doogan New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/19/2013 11:28 pm Hi. I was metal-detecting today in the finger lakes region of central New York State. I found this medal. I've spent hours and hours researching it, and I can't find it anywhere. I've looked at over 5000 google images, and nothing... can anybody help? Thanks, doogan Report this Post to the Staff

doogan New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 4:37 pm Hi John- No, the back is blank. My brother thinks it may be a watch fob. I'm thinking he's correct. Based on the design, my guess is that it's roughly c.1900? We found 1897 and 1898 Indian cents within about 4 feet of this find, deep in the woods. Report this Post to the Staff

doogan New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 3:35 pm It definitely isn't gold. I'm pretty sure it's copper, actually. Report this Post to the Staff

doogan New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 4:32 pm Thanks to all! I wish it had some identifying marks on the reverse, but it doesn't. Its origins will remain a mystery. I do love it, though! Doogan Report this Post to the Staff
