A TALE OF TWO MEDALS

摘要

I live in Adelaide and detect mostly for lost coins (I like to call it recycling money) jewellery and relics. I'm hooked on uncovering history In whatever form it takes so that is as good a place as any to start my story. Last year I was detecting with my Minelab X-terra70 on the perimeter of a suburban oval and had picked up a few modern coins and a couple of pre-declmals before locking on to a strong and solid signal underneath a large shade tree. The target turned out to be a World War 11 medal about eight Inches down in the soft earth.
