Well guys, didnt have golf after school, so my dad and i went to check out some parks in Pasadena. With just clad at the first one, we hit a vaccant lot, and had a guy next door staring at us the whole time, plus it had seemingly been paved over, so we left. But the last spot had a little bit in it, it was a really small park next to the bridge, and i was able to get a 47 wheat, and a neat medal with the mother Mary on it. Its weird it has a date at the bottom reading 1830, but it was only a coulple inches down? Im not really sure what its made out of, its not gold or silver, or nickle, so i dunno. But those were my takes along with about $3.50 in clad. Not that bad of a day. Thanx for lookin! HH Tristan  |

Hi Tristan, You have found a "miraculous medal." 1830 refers to the year of a Catholic story: www.amm.org/medal.htmI found one last year and went through the same questions.  HH! Rick ;D |

Thanx for the info guys! I hadnt a clue of wat it could be. Randy, the wheat was like 4 and this was like 3, so they werent deep at all. I was huntin an area though were the minerals were high, and it was falsin a lot though. Thanx for the comments!
