I was detecting a yard of a house I lived in when I 1st got married. Asked the homeowners permission to detect and came up super luck.

Nothing else really. A bunch of trash. Going back soon. As for the duplicate post, I just saw that. I posted from my phone and for some reason that happened.

Never seen one of those posted here. Excellent find and I'd say pretty rare. Bet that was a screamer when you ran your coil over it. Thanks for sharing!
