GB_Amateur Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Very interesting find. It might also help to say (at least) in what country you found it. USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia,...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosswinds Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Dug it with my XP Deus in Georgetown SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It does look like some sort of award/medal. Is the chain detachable from the container? DId this ring up as a high conductor? Does it look like silver or gold alloy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosswinds Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Was dug on a rice plantain dating back to 1714 in South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I was digging in G-Town on a plantation with Calabash Digger last year and had a great time. Dug a lot of buttons and Calabash dug a reale that I probably walked over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosswinds Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 It rings up as a low conductor. Chain is not detachable from V medal. The V medal is silver, I assume. The casing is gold or gold plated, there was no tarnish on the case when I dug it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Man I am stumped but that is one beautiful little find regardless of what it is. If you have FB, I would suggest posting it on the ID Me group page. I found what turned out to be a brass Army National Guard unit ID pin in Georgetown that was associated with the local Georgetown National Guard unit (made sense). I had no idea but an ID Me user tagged a clean picture of what it was within about 30 minutes of posting. Mystery solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several here (a couple in particular) who are amazing at their ability to identify finds. Of course I say that as a FB ignormamus, but sometimes we wear our perceived shortcomings with pride. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Him going to FB doesn't keep DP folks from chiming in in the meantime. I thought the idea of DP was to provide advice and help. I'm pretty good at ID-ing weird stuff that comes out of the ground. Just providing some additional resources for the OP based on success I have had on that site when I've been left scratching my head. I understand that FB is not everyone's cup of tea. As such, I have offered in the past to post pics as a proxy for members here who don't have an account. MD related information is about the only thing I use FB for.
