Went out this morning for several hours. Found this 1914 French Croix de Guerre. I decided to try some electrolysis on it. Here are the
before and after pics ...

Here are some links to sites about the medal with some original pictures ...

Also found a couple scout scarf slides, small 14k Virgin Mary pendant, junk copper ring, '88 Canadian Loonie dollar, a Canadian 1867-1967
commemorative cent, A Israeli 1/2 Sheqel, key, and $5.93 in change.

Thanks for looking ... Ron

That was a productive hunt. I am surprised how you didn't make more of a fuss about that beautiful religious medal. I ame very fond of finding them and have never gotten one in gold. Fantastic military medal.

lol, guess I was too caught up in the medal. Yes, I was very happy about the gold pendant too! Although small, it was very pretty.
