Congratulations on your neat find! You are from my old stomping grounds.. almost. I use to live in Texas City.. still have family in the area! There use to be a military camp in Texas City by the way.. first airforce base..if I'm not mistaken! You might want to check it out.. down by the Texas City Dike. Lots of good places to detect in the greater Houston/Galveston area! Happy Hunting! And be sure to post pics of your finds!
