Hi people!
I am trying to locate in the internet data and a picture of the most curious medallion I found recently with my V3i in the beach of Escambron in San Juan. I will try to describe as best I can the description of it since my computer camera broke down on me and I am planning to send it to a Kodak repair shop in U.S. My V3i detected it as a quarter it is made of copper or bronze it is dated 1775 and the year is located under a castle (like the chess rook). On each side of the castle there is what appears like 2 canons or 1 canon and a old gun aside the canon is 3 canon balls and to the right is 2 more on the top of each canon is a stared flag. I presume it is one U.S. flag and the P.R. aside each flag comming from the top of the castle is 2 lances. Comming dead center from the top of the castle comes a pole and what appears to be a bell, from this bell is a banner in oval shape with a unreadable writing(too small to see). The medallion is in a hexagon shape with a loop on the top to wear. In the back it says "FOR MILITARY ACHIEVEMENT" Well I hope with this someone can shead some data on this find its value and historical info. Thanks for your time. your truely Ralph LP/ TA.
