Had to trade my knife for a shovel

[DANGLANGLEY]

My first trip out with my new Minelab SE was an eye opener. I was used to the Ace 250 and had a big knife to dig with. I got out in my yard (1922 farm house yard) with the SE and soon found out that I was going to be digging deeper than I could with my knife. I drug out the shovel after a couple of holes. Some parts of my yard has been filled in to level it and there's stuff over a foot deep. The only real interesting thing I found was about 10 inches deep and came in loud and as what I thought was a silver dollar signal. It was showing 00-30 on the digital screen. It's going to be a chore to learn the SE it but I am having a ball. Here's what I found. I think it may be a metal wheel off a toy of some sort. It weighs almost 3 ounces.

Glad you got out with it bud! That thing looks like those crazy spinning tops(?) that used to go up and down the metal rail that you held in your hand. Anyone remember what the he#* I'm talking about...


Congrats DL...
