Sorry the photos kinda suck best I could do with my camera. What do you guys think I have here? I think it was bent and my shovel caught the bend and opened it back up. It seems to be made out of brass the design doesn't show on the back. I'm totally stoked right now I literally got my detector 2 weeks ago, have found a ton of clad, a cool old copper cameo, and this baby!

I tend to think it is the real deal, I'm currently searching for someone in my area that can take a look at it and verify authenticity. I just hope this doesn't spoil me, to find something like this as a rookie it is gonna be hard for me to top this!
