I detected and dug this up a few months back. I suspect it’s of Southwest US, as to the rocks, the Donkey, or Mule.
As I heard the rings of the detector, I knew I had found a metal something or other. As I dug down 6-7” all I saw was a rock.
Why would rocks set the detector off?
The Donkey, or Mule, is made of Copper, solid copper, that’s why I thought Southwest US.
Arizona mining country origin?
I don’t know, maybe you folks do?
Thanks for looking.
Edit: I should have noted it took several sessions in the sink with soapy water and a soft brush to clean this unit up. Then a coat of clear to make it shine.
