WINNER #1
My Favorite find for January 2012 is the 1874 National Firemen’s Tournament Medal. Bobby B. from Henderson, TN, was searching an 1860’s era house with his AT Pro. Bobby wrote, “It was down approximately 10 inches and surrounded by square nails, etc. I have relic and coin hunted for 35 years and this is the best machine I have ever used in junk that still retains depth.”
Bobby recovered this handsome firemen’s tournament medal made of brass, 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide. It has Omaha 1874 stated on it along with an early horse drawn engine. These medals were awarded to firemen who competed in national fire department competitions. Bobby adds, “I can’t help but to think these are extremely rare as I have never seen another in 35 years of digging and collecting.”
Congrats to Bobby B. for sharing this exciting U.S. find with Garrett!
Bobby B. WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!
