I CAUGHT A 10 POUNDER

[sniffer]

I was checking out a tot lot, when I get this awesome hard signal at 1 1/2 inches. So I start digging, at 4 inches I still haven't found anything, I'm thinking "oh great a pop can" but I keep digging in hopes of something better. All of a sudden I hit something hard, real hard it was laying flat, i had to dig the hole just a bit bigger and as you can see in the picture, I think it's pretty obvious what it was.
I put it in my pouch and call it a day. On the way home I started thinking, Who would bury a weight in a park?, and then I thought, What if it was used in a crime?,
Well, too late now I already moved it, anyway hope you enjoyed looking.

Soak it in olive oil for a few days... LOL...

Maybe left over from some type of awning setup from a carnival ?. I';ve seen all sorts of weights used to weigh down the awnings, usually a concrete filled coffee can, but have seen a few weight from time to time.

time for some shut eye

I'm going with ballast on that one. People use weights instead of driving spikes sometimes to hold tents and awnings down. Still a cool find, you just never know, do ya? That's what makes this hobby so fun.
