I finally got out for a hunt for the first time in 4-5 years. My teenage daughter wanted to tag along so we went to a house built in the 1950's. We found 8 Memorial Pennies and one Wheat Penny along with this. I thought it was silver, but not being marked, I am guessing it is not. It measures about one inch long.

Yep some of those aluminum religious pendants can sound and look really good coming out of the hole. Congrats on getting out again turtlefoot, and good luck on your future outings!
 
Not a bad hunt - that pendant is still in pretty nice shape. When corrosion starts to set in, the aluminum ones get quite pitted and ugly. Cool that your daughter is showing an interest - great family time together!

I was sure it was silver at first glance.

It was cool. I am going to have to get some more decent permissions to take her with me to.

Thank you for the welcome back. I appreciate it. I am very fortunate with the kids that I have for sure.
 
Lady here at work says it's probably made of pewter. It's referred to as a Miraculous Medal with Mary and the prayer "O Mary, Conceived without Sin, Pray for Us Who Have Recourse to Thee".

Welcome back to the hunt!

Doug, still not a bad find. That was just a warm-up find to get your ready for the real thing next time!

I am hoping to get into some shotshell heads real soon. I will take the pendant as a warm-up for sure.
