My wife and kids bought me a detector for Christmas. Stretch of woods in our neighborhood that, will soon be developed into streets and cookie cutter homes. I have been wandering around aimlessly digging everything that makes a sound. I've learned a lot about the to tones. I have uncovered a lot. The brass dust cover gave an exciting tone. My coolest find so far. Lovin the diggin.

I have found a few of the covers down here and they were sold and used as smoke house locks.
