Digging more old ash pits in my yard, Silver!

[djabend]

Hit some more of the trashy area in my yard with the buried ash pits.
Still using the 4x6 DD shooter coil.
Got a broken 20 ish VDI and dug the plug.
Out popped an iron bowl shaped object. Moving that out of the way,
I spotted a heart shaped object. I thought to myself I bet that is an old locket.
Yep!

Gold plated on silver. Broken though

Neat clasp on it


I put it in electrolysis to get the gold plating off and here it is now
I found the 44 wheat nearby.

Excellent finds!! I love my xlt! Last year I thought I wanted a new minelab but after having my best year to date I decided that the ole xlt was still the machine for me!! I am going to get me a waterproof machine before summer gets here and I am thinking of sticking to whites. Good luck and happy hunting!!

No there is nothing inside. You can't see it in the pics but all I found was one side to it.
There was no sign of the other side

I like my XLT too. But I am going to be using my economic stimulus package money and tax return to upgrade to a DFX. Got to love free money from the government and I am just doing my part to help the economy
I will be keeping my XLT though.
