GOLD ? Fiat pin unearthed today ......

[Mississippi Yankee]

Wow !!

Had a neighbor ask me why i never asked to detect her yard before & then told me to go ahead and "have at it".

Below is a pin that I found right away with the Ace 250 & dug at 4". HOLY CANOLE BATMAN !!

Pin appears to have some sort of gemstone inserted in it ( looks to me like a pink sapphire )
I scanned the back ( no easy task ) to reveal a 10K marking along with what must be the manufactor's Mark.

Anyone ever seen something like this ??

Guess it was a good 5 minutes spent, huh ?

Nice one. I use to own and drive a Fiat. I think that was a pin given to the top salesman or something on that order. Monty

You could very well be right Monty ... makes sense.

I am absolutely STUNNED the gemstone was still intact & Thank God I did not damage it digging. THIS is why a pinpoint feature & knowing how to cut a plug comes in handy.? ?

The only Fiat I ever bought for my own use was a '76 Sport Spyder Convertable. Had a ball with it !!

Very nice M.Y., but I think it was a pin for length of employment. Probably like a five year or ten year pin. Definately a really nice pin. Congrats...Lance

Man.....if one of my neighbors asked me why I haven't hunted in their yard before......I'd do the Nestea plunge and fall over right in the driveway!!! Very cool find!! Congrats!!!
