So three silvers is a personal best for me. Found these next to an old school house. Anyone know what the heart is? Rosette?

Was also happy to find NRA marksman pin.

Although I don’t do them often I love a sidewalk strap the first time I did a sidewalk strip I had just changed from the almighty bounty hunter to a ATP So I was just interested enough to buy a real detector and I read where they used to bring all the goods fromNew Orleans. to Covington Louisiana across the Lake into one off our many rivers. I was there for two minutes and already got a slamming hit 9 inches down. I knew it wasn’t a Mardi Gras the balloon because it was too deep I was getting smarter by then LOL. But I dug it just to see that big rusty washer scorching heat people walking by me I could see their feet and out popped a black solid disc it was so black I don’t even know what it was a hauled ass home. And I be damned It was a 1829 Spanish 8 reales. I’ve been highly addicted ever sense.

Have always liked the sidewalk strips, small coil, and it's self contained in it's own grid.
