1/4 Rupee silver colonial coin and brass bull snaps +
I detected an Everglades island today, now a city park (albeit, a very horsey city dedicated to rodeo and horse ranches). A park ranger drove by within 20 yards of me. They've never bothered me there, but this was the first time I was right out in the open field right by the parking lot. There's a very old oak right there, and under it's broad spreading limbs are 2 posts for training horses, is what I think they are. Also a regular hitching bar like in the movies, about 6' wide.
I found the 3 brass bull snaps, used to attach a lead to a horse halter, under the tree near the posts, they were all shackled in a row. The other is a Panic Shackle. It releases under pressure.
The 1945 English colonial India 1/4 rupee was also under the tree. It's exactly the size of a US penny, and it's .500 silver. Too bad there's a hole in it...but if there weren't I guess I wouldn't have found it there.
Notice that George VI (the current Queen Elizabeth's father, for you young'uns) is identified on this colonial coin as "emperor."
