Yea I know it sounds weird, but I was detecting in an old school yard and got a signal by an old maple tree. I dug the hit and was kind of crouched down almost kneeling but not. I pulled out some sort of religious medallion and as my hand came up to about my knee cap ( 12 inches above the ground) the medallion slipped out of my fingers and fell straight down to the ground. At least that is what I thought happened. What really happened ( theory) is that the medallion fell through some sort of worm hole or vortex / crack in the space time continuum. Why do I think this happened you might ask. I looked for this medallion several times during the next few hours, I used the metal detector, scratched the grass with my fingers and could not find this little medallion. It dropped around 12 inches straight to the ground. it couldn't have bounced and it wasn't there. I finally gave up on finding it and decided to go home. I walked about 2 feet away where I had a sifter and a gold pan sitting on the ground ( yes I use my classifier and gold pan while digging ) and there under the gold pan was the medallion. BTW the gold pan and classifier had been there the whole time. The only other thing I can think of that may have happened is that a really stealthy squirrel snuck between my legs while I wasn't looking and stole the medallion and hid it under the gold pan and then sat in the tree laughing at me... But probably not.
