I finally decided to take this pewter coin and use Dave's (HEAVYMETALNUT's) method of using hair spray to coat the coin... when i first rinsed the coin I saw a date of 1828... I just knew it had to be good based on that date and the site didn't have any relics after 1850. I can't believe what this turned out to be!!!

Andrew Jackson's second term (1828) campaign medallion which used to have a hole in the top but was broken off and lost. The pewter chipped a little but there's nothing you can do. I can't believe this!!! It's the first one I've ever seen dug!!! Dan actually suggested this being some type of presidential campaign medallion when I first dug it. This is officially my best hunt ever.

Thank you for the kind words PA!! The only reason I consider myself a rookie still is because I'm still a beginner at researching.
