Amazingly, the weather cooperated enough for me to take another trip to my favorite old "Seated Park", and as it has done SO MANY times in the past, it gave me another seated coin- an 1876 dime, the 30th seated coin (25th dime) that I have been fortunate enough to find at this park. Also scored 3 Indians and a few wheats, and this "gold" religious medallion. When it came out of the hole, it sure looked gold and even once I removed some of the dirt, it felt heavy enough and looked to be solid. That is until I got to check it under the loupe- imprinted on the reverse is 1/20 12K Gold Filled- damn! You can clearly see the plated & broken areas- oh well.
Most likely this was the last hunt of the year and for a while with forecasted weather (here's hoping for reverse psychology), and if so, at least it was a good one!
Happy Hunting to the fortunate ones who will still be able to hunt!
