The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone picture

Continuity mistake: When Billy pulled the medallion out of the ground, part of the cloth covering it was hanging past his hand, but when he blew dirt off the cloth, the cloth was compactly covering the medallion. Also, the cloth should have had more than some loose dirt on it and the medallion - after buried in the ground for 200 years - should have been dirty and tarnished, not clean. (A cloth covering the medallion would not protect it from soaking rains). (00:23:35)
