Popular Post mudwhale Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 After lighting my charcoal grill, I knew I had about 20 minutes to swing the Deus II in my back yard. I have pounded every square inch of it with my Nokta Impact in every program and every frequency and with my AtMax. I always start in the same spot and the first pass is along a fence line. On the return pass I move over about 3 feet and head back to the driveway. About halfway in the return pass I got a real good signal at 84 VDI on the screen in DeepHC. I dug down a good 12" and found this medallion from Italy. It is a Pope Pius Xii Medallion made of brass. When I got it in the house it was encrusted with dirt. I gave it a quick rinse to get the dirt off. The back of the medallion came loose and out popped 2 communion wafers. I have no idea of it's age but he became pope in 1939. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvpopeye Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I vaguely remember seeing that pope's funeral on TV a long time ago.. Your find may be a commemorative of that or maybe he toured the US blessing the masses and it was swag ? Was there a ray of sunlight on the spot where it was found ? ? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
