Thought I'd fancy another walk today. But, it was soooo hot! Have to be a short one! :)

Sooooo, with all these choices, which one to try? My oh my! Which one?

I KNOW! I'll go to where I just found my oldest silver ever! ;) LOL

And, so, off to zip city. Didn't take too long for me to figure this was going to be tough.
Not only sooo hot but it's not easy going back out to find stuff while one's feet are still off the ground. ;)

Anyhoo, the detectorist powers found a way to show me that history is history and going forward still holds
it's own wonders. No matter how big or how small. :)

Here's the bulk:

The middle row is a nickel, a Canadian penny and some toasted something that is razor thin! :)

:dontknow:

Another small surprise. 190_ , toasted but still neat.

So, it got too hot and I started "meandering toward the car" and at the end
of one of the swings I caught a slightly higher tone. So, I moved over and
sure enough, solid 84-87. Good! At least I can get one more clad quarter!

But, when I dug, it was deeper. Same signal, a little louder. Hmmm.
I scooped out a couple more times.

2015 (323).jpg

Funny, it didn't seem this deep!

I look in and figure my eyes were deceiving me. Heat and all that.

2015 (324).jpg

Is that what I think I see?

2015 (325).jpg

It is! It's an unmistakable form!!

I was shocked and I truly expected to see something like U.S. looking at me
when I flipped it over! Did I FINALLY find a plate!?!?

2015 (326).jpg

Well, ummm, not exactly. But this is a rather strange piece and
a wonderful something to have as an exit find. I laughed at the
"joke" on me. Cleaned up and went home. LOL

2015 (332).jpg 2015 (333).jpg

Here it is after it's bath. AND, that's not a double. That is a front and back pic! LOL

2015 (334).jpg

Anyway, it's brass/bronze near as I can tell. Non-magnetic and it weighs over 2 ounces!!

I'm too tired to figure it out. I'll let you guys do the research tonight. Maybe I'll try tomorrow. :dontknow:

Maybe this will be the one where somebody says, WHADIFIND!?!?!? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GOT THERE??!?!? ;)
LOL

Thanks for peeking!

I hear ya....just the same as gold! Unexpected is just as exciting!

Usually when I dig those large loud signals, it's a can, or a large pipe, but one day I will be surprised!.....just hope it doesn't go boom, or bite! Lol!

But, you see, that's just it. This didn't give me one of those loud/overload signals. It sounded just like a clad quarter! LOL Talk about surprised! :)

No offense intended. Ms......but I'm snickering at you post!....lol our detectors really are smarter than we are! They don't have emotions.... Last week my xlt said QUARTER! Ummmm, no. 1853 large CENT ( variety not determined yet)... Better than a lid though....my detectors snicker at me all the time.....
