Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.

Usually this water site is brass stuff, fishing lure bodies, sinkers and miscellaneous lead stuff. Every now and then some interesting lead item or a large cent will make an appearance. Anyway, this is a lead tag that would have adorned a bottle of Gin. Clearly not modern-day because it's lead. Anyone find one before? Posted rest of stuff front hunt here too. Think there's a lead two hole button in there too. No clue on brass screen thing. All resting on a lamp base with copper beaded edge.

A very interesting find. Congratulations.
It's definitely different. Found a lead tootsie toy limo from around 1911 and a pressed lead item with floral pattern in here as well. Only 2 largies over the last 9 months but hey it's scenic and cooler than open fields in the summer
