Metal Detecting
Took my youngest boy to soccer practice and brought my detector along with me to hit a nearby farm field. I set the timer on my phone for 40 minutes in case I lost track of time and forgot about him while in my detecting trance. I was digging almost no targets for 30 minutes when I got a coin signal showing in the low 70s, which is usually a penny on my AT Pro. I dug my initial plug and re-scanned the hole. Now it was showing in the low 80s, which is closer to a dime, so I got excited. I flipped over another plug and it was sitting right on top. This is my third Seated Liberty, with my first back in February. It is also my oldest. I am running out of good spots, so I am going to enjoy this luck while I got it. I also dug this small sharp object about 6 to 8 inches down. Any ideas? One end is threaded, while the other end is shaped to a point. I don’t bow hunt, but would this be some sort of removable tip to an arrow? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Good luck out there!

I believe that is a screw in tip to an aluminum arrow.

Nice coin!

Way to go on the seated and my guess about the pointed object would be a soldering iron tip if it is copper.

I've shot bows since I was a kid and I've never seen a target point that wasn't steel. I'll go with soldering iron tip. Gary

Yes, I am with the crew that says screw in tip for an arrow. Its a target tip used for practicing, not hunting.
