Did I find Vishnu ?

[bravobob]

Found a strange one today.
There's a creek next to my house with street parking that runs along the side . No sidewalk , just a dirt strip around 10 feet wide with a big bolder every ten feet , for about a block long.
The creek is about 10 feet below street level. I've detected the area a couple times and found a few bucks in clad.

Yesterday the city came in and cut all the heavy brush away , revealing a small flat spot a couple feet from the top. Got a few hits.Found .67 cents on the flat area . Started doing the bank on my way back up to street level when BAM ! Damn near blew my headphones off ! I kicked the dirt away and saw pointy things in a circle. Great , a bike sprocket i thought. So i grabbed it and gave it a yank and this is what came out !
I believe its the Goddess Vishnu. Doesn't look like Buddha. Its about 12in tall , all brass.
Strangely enough last week i found Jesus !

It would look good on your Chevy.
Congratulations

shiva (the destroyer god) as the lord of dance... odd that a crucifix was also found

Hello Bob! I found you on Tony Eisenhower’s YouTube channel. I also found some thing similar but not the same. Mine was on a river bank in Schenectady New York. Buried in the bank and blew my ears off as well! I think mine is Shiva. I also found almost $40 worth of quarters in a 20 ft area of the Riverbank and a little bit into the water. When it warms up here in New York I’m going deeper into the water to get more quarters. It certainly is fun!

I did good on Plattsburg's little public city beach for gold, don't know if thats close to you but worthy of a beeping

Neat find! Hopefully it wasn't purposely tossed away, because of the bad juju it brought to its previous owner.
