WINNER #1
My favorite find for July 2013 is the Purple Heart Medal, found by Mark L. from Ft. Worth, TX, with his ACE 350.
Mark shares his find and story. “I was detecting a lot when I came across the medal but it was so dirty I thought it was a large piece of jewelry. I then detected the area some more and found a small piece of metal that looked to be the bust of a person. Still, nothing clicked in my brain. A purple heart is the last thing I would expect to find. It wasn’t until I got home and was showing it to my wife that I flipped it over and we saw the purple part on the front. We both went, “It’s a purple heart!”
Mark concludes, “The Commander at the VFW Post 8235 Hall where we have our Cowtown Treasure Hunters Club meeting is in the process of locating family of the name on the back. This was a fun find, and it will be great to get it back to where it belongs.”
Great story and I’m proud that you have the heart to return it to its rightful family.
