- This is my first time cleaning pewter so don't judge me if it's a bit rough, thank you -
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.

I also found two silver Roosevelt Dimes and 11 Wheat Cents today.
