Alright so I'm back in the ME for work and figured I'd carry on with my new-found hobby out here.
First hunt, took my 6 yr old boy with me in case I needed to dish out a "oh just teaching my son" story. About half an hour into our hunt at a nearby park, some park supervisor type character approaches us and starts asking me questions - what I'm doing, what that big black contraption is etc...
I simply told the guy I'm teaching my boy science, that the device next to me is a metal detector, and kept pursuing the target I was on to.
The guy was skeptical. He just sat there and waited to see the outcome of our dig. And just like that, my pointer went off and I found my first coin. My son started cheering, ""Treasure!" and the guy started laughing. My story was validated.
Anyway, second hunt, we found a few older coins, an old Chinese key, and a strange rectangular object.
As seen in the photos, it's a couple inches long and about an inch wide; feels relatively heavy; has a hollow threaded piece at the end; and when I was cleaning out the center area, it seemed as if there was some type of white acid corrosion present.
Any thoughts?
