WINNER #1
My favorite find for October 2012 is the Battle of the Bulge Sharpshooter’s Medal. Michael F. from Madison, TN, was aware that a really old house was torn down just around the corner from him, and that the whole residential block had recently been sold. He got acquainted with a former lot owner, an elderly man, who lives two houses down from the demolished house, and has to move due to the sale of the block. Speaking with him, Michael learned of the possibility of treasure nearby.
Taking his Ace 250, Michael tells us, “I go back today for a short hunt. Just a few minutes in I get a really nice silver beep! I dug up this WWII Sharpshooters Medal! I took the medal down to the elderly man to look at. He says, “That’s my Uncle’s, he won it at the Battle of the Bulge! Can I take it in the house and clean it? His wife comes out and asked if her husband can have it. He follows with tears in his eyes saying that his mother was 99 years old and she did not have anything of her brothers. So being the big softy that I am, and trying to do the right thing, I gave him the medal, my name and address."
Congrats to Michael F. for sharing this exciting medal and story with Garrett and for your kind deed.
