I was detecting a local county fairground that is iver 150 years old, and got a mixed nickel/silver coin signal I decided to dig it and cut a nice big plug when I flipped it and removed the loose dirt this is what I saw!!!! Instant heart attack!!!! I'm not going to reveal what it is just yet. I want to leave you guys in suspense for a day or so!!!! LOL!!!! I'm not saying it's good and I'm not saying it's junk. One of my My detecting buddies (Corinth1812) was there when I dug this and I'm so glad i had a witness!!!

feel free to venture a guess. I will post a pic of the find Sunday Morning. p.s. it's not a pulltab and it is not any kind of screwcap/bottlecap and it is not junk either!!

Judging from pic i would say gold, ...hmmm maybe a ring or a coin of some type. The mystery in the hole for sure.
 
Pull tab! >:( jgas
 
Looks like a coin ring to me buuuttt :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow:
 
It is dirt with a metallic object embedded.

Whatever it is I'm sure it's a good find :icon_salut:
 
I'll say it---this is stupid. If YOU don't know what it is then post it in the what is it forum.
 
One Ring to rule them All!!!!!! :laughing9:
 
It's a gold Indian Head :headbang:
 
I'm just trying to liven up the forums a bit!!! I'm going to post a pic of what it is in a few minutes. I won't make everyone wait until tomorrow morning.
 
Here it is! I wish now I would have left it in the plug because what it turned out to be was not nearly as awesome as I thought it was while it was still in the hole!!!!
