It's a good thing it's Labor Day weekend.

What with school being closed, I just went to a local schoolhouse:




A couple of little, interesting doodads.





...and this lil thing. The AT doesn't pick it up,
but if I get it close enough to the pro-pointer
it "sees" it, and it's not only magnetic, it sticks
to metal like one!
I think Fishy just likes it for it's mirror-like surfaces. LOL



Blingie doesn't seem to care.

But, I'll tell ya, all this "work"! And to only seem able to pull clad
is REALLY turning this into a "labor" of love......for this hobby.

Great Hunt Whadi! I found a basket-pendant nearly identical to yours (Blingie's) a couple of months ago. Strange...Happy Hunting! Sub

Nice hunt!

The magnetic stone is polished hematite, A.K.A. a lodestone

I was going to ask the same thing but you beat me to it! I saw big, brown and round in the hole and about crapped, then fished it out to see "no cash value" on the other side..lol..ddf

Sorry guys, I missed this question. Yes, it's a no cash value token.

If anyone was wondering, the little thing with 7gr on it is some sort of wheel balancing system.

I think I'm liking the Lodestone best of all.

Do you save all your clad and count it at the end of the year? You seem to really clean up.

No, I don't. Kinda just put a lot of it back into circulation so I can find it again.
Thanks!

Actually, I hadn't either. This was more of an eyeball find. The detector picked up on a penny near by and while I was retrieving that I saw this. I checked it with the pin pointer and it did give a bit of a reaction. Strange looking lil piece of something! So, naturally, I kept it!

Lode stones are better than gall stones,, lol
Congratulations on the clad and variety.

Thanks! It's kind of funny though. I'd heard of lodestones before but I never actually seen one, let alone find one! LOL
