Jeff, this is close to me. I'll go look and give you 25% of found gold - where should I start?

Found a large metalic object near the water that seems to be a piece from some earth moving equipment. There was a larger target that I just dug near the edge of the signal, but it appears to be like metal garden type fencing, about 3 feet square. It didn't seem rusty, so assumed it was buried relatively recently.

I believe the story, and since I live in Connecticut, I will search for it. Information will be deeply grateful.
