In The Back Yard

[mudwhale]

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.

Unusual find. 🙂 Cool! With the wafers no less.

You just never know that's out there. 👍

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 ? 🤔

Yes it's a wide open yard.

It was just like Monty Python's search for the Holy Grail. "Must answer me these questions three, 'ere the other side ye see"
