Had a great time out hunting with my AT Max with a neat an old park in the small town next toe me and picked up a bunch of clad, 1 wheatie, 2 junk rings and one bent up 925 silver ring. Then hit a field near there and found a couple of buttons what I think is a big lead bullet and 3 points.

Great finds on the coinage and the rings, but what I really like are those Indigenous points. :thumbsup:

One of the best investments I ever made when I started detecting was a ring mandrel, it's paid for itself many times over.
This is an interesting looking 'BENFORD' tag, is there anything on the back? :icon_scratch:

No sir the back is slick. this is most likely a equipment tag or equipment chit as we call them at the local prison. They are used to check our radios, tools and keys. There are 6 prisons within 50 miles of where it was found.
