Nice "steel" surprise

Got permission to detect a 50's-60's house yesterday. Went out after a doctor's appointment this morning. I started detecting next to what was left of a carport type of building. Kept going around this small pile of corrugated tins sheets. Finally decided to move them. I started detecting where they had been and right away got a warbly -8 reading on my X-70. I was going to keep going but decided to dig it as it was pretty strong. Down about 2" was my surprise. First one ever. Came home as my knees were a little sore from the cortisone shots. Gotta go back.

That is a hard one to find, especially in that condition. There are three holes in my Whitman folder that cry out for one of those.
