Had a hour to hunt so I had to go to a close fairly old spot. Got a good solid hit about 5" down and was surprised to see two blue eyes looking up at me. It was a solid brass owl with glass blue eyes. I like getting a weird surprise hunting now and then! :)

I was guessing 1950's/60's! It was by a old flower garden so that may have been why it got so deep. My wife loves owls so she claimed it. It's about time I brought something back she wanted. It could be a 1700's silver coin and she wouldn't care. :)
