G'day All Fellow Hunters,

The name is Spanners and i've been detecting for just over 10 years now and can say i have never found anything like this. I use a garrett GTi2500 and have been using garretts for the majority of this hobby and can say the GTi2500 is the greatest machine out there ( My opinion ). I was hunting at a local blue stone home stead which was once owned by a English family, located here in Melbourne Victoria which is on private property ( Permission Obtained ). What looked like the rear side of the home stead i got a deep reading of over 12" and usual i leave the deep ones alone but this time i thought i'd give it a go. Well lucky i did as i found this great medallion, but its got me puzzled how would something like this got here.

Took it to get evaluated by a coin/medallion pro and low and behold she is the genuine article, price wise its up there but to me its the history behind the medallion that gets me going.
 
That's an awesome find Spanners!
For our US friends and others. That apparently small looking coin, is a 50 cent piece which has a diameter of 31.5mm, which is an inch and a quarter. About the size of your large cents!
Mick Evans.
