Minelab xterra, Whites DFX, Notka Makro Simplex. Folks the price don’t mean everything, the question is are you willing to put in the time to learn the machine, experience will pay off I guarantee it.

I found several images online. One very similar was listed as 1848 Colt black powder flask. Others as Civil War Era. Cool find!

Looks quite similar to one I found but I'd have to go back n find pics. Mine was 1880ish Colt non military but any time I see Eagles and shields I get excited. I only got the front half. Nice work!
