Well, we have been out less than a dozen times. Small change and junk mostly. Frankly, I was hoping MDing would be easier than gold prospecting, but that just goes to show you how much of a newbie I am. Anyways, you may have already seen this on what is it, but I thought it was worthy of a todays find post too!
Thanks to drbecker, I now know what I found was a Antique Kelly Axe Tool Works Fire Bush Hook Brush Axe

It's made of heavy iron and was found near a one lane road established in the 1880's
Here's what's so cool. The detector was all over the board on readings and I was digging but not finding anything. It acted like when I was near the Explorer and it was reading all the nearby metal. Then in the brush, I finally found it. The handle was long gone and had no idea what it was. I researched the area before we went...this was found on the Old Gasquet Toll Road and may well have been used to help clear the original road.
