Long time lurker who was active on another outdoor forum that had a MD section, but they shut down. I can't go without a MD outlet!:laughing7: Started my MD career back in 75 with a White's 6000D. Back into it again when I bought an M6 last year. Have some interesting finds to post, but thought I would start with this one. Found it in the older section of town and down about 7 inches. I have emailed the Managing Editor of the now Star Tribune and she is researching, as I can find nothing on the internet.

With the title I thought this was a military award, but it is not. Too bad, as that would have been a really great find.

Is there anything on the back of the medal? Post a picture of the back?

As is, it is a great find, and welcome to the forums.
 

Welcome to TNet,,, Thank you for posting such an interesting find.
My first detector was a beep and dig, purchased in 1970 while I was in the Navy.
Nice to see there are still a few "Old timers" around.
Good luck on the research and keep us posted
 

that M6 is an awesome machine...i just sold mine and i regret it big time! great job!

TY! The back is exactly the same as the front.
 

Welcome to Tnet.... and cant wait to see your other finds!
 

Welcome aboard TNet! Congratz on a cool find!
 

Got an answer, sort of, from the MST News Research Director.......

I’m sorry but I won’t be able to give you a definitive answer about the medal you found. I recall the issue coming up once before . At that time, there was copy editor here ( now recently retired after 45 years at the paper) who was also a collector of Star Tribune memorabilia. He often bought Star Tribune historical items off ebay. I believe at the time he said the medal was something given to newspaper carriers after a certain time of service.

The Star Tribune has never had a corporate archive nor are there any records of employee/ carrier incentives over the years so this is the best I can do in response to your question.
 

glad to have you here
I would not Capitalize it unless it was the national Medal of Honor ( but that's just me)
 

NEEEET MEDALLIOM PENDANT ...
