I went to a spot I hunted many times but it was mostly all super quiet so it may be my last time going there for a long time. My last resort was to hit the rocky shore line up. I had a choppy signal and rolled a couple bigger rocks and then it turned into a nice steady tone. I was surprised to pull out a item with a building picture and could be easily read. It was some type of souvenir from the 1862 international exhibition in London, England. It’s was nice to not go home skunked since it was my first hunt in awhile. Thanks for looking and here is a link with info on the exhibition if anyone is interested. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1862_International_Exhibition

Anything in 1800's you find is really cool-- when you find it. Too bad it could not tell you a story of how it got there!! HH
