Not much the show but I got something now the something is whatā€™s in question it rang up at a 1516 on the 800 which normally I donā€™t dig but I came up with this many pulltabs later. Itā€™s not aluminum thereā€™s a Louisiana text token the same size but when you drop them itā€™s two different sounds and this oneā€™s I was a little heavier I donā€™t know if itā€™s pewter I donā€™t know if itā€™s a Button somebody mustā€™ve nailed a hole through it and it looks to be round itā€™s just one of those are things I keep with character maybe it might amount of something one day Iā€™ve been getting lucky lol thanks for looking.
22mm
Compared to a Louisiana tax token You can see why I wondered
UPDATE:::: Silver in the hole!!!! This look like a smash bottle cap and I was clearing out my bag and sure enough thereā€™s goodness in the hole. Hereā€™s the first itā€™s my first Norwegian sterling silver what appears to be a salt shaker or pepper shaker lead unbelievable. Also thought this was just a little cheap token but actually I love it ā€œSaint Michaels please protect us in battleā€. Look it up on Google but I canā€™t find the exact one maybe itā€™s old. 25.7mm damn 6 grams. OK the rest is definitely just trash lol

Good stuff Truth, you're on a roll!
See it takes me about an hour to get there and I donā€™t check my fines in field I like to chew on them and then wonder what exactly it is but the time I get home thatā€™s how I like to do it

No I found it at a fort with no roofing nails that I have found and Iā€™ve hunted there more than 100 times. I cleaned it up as much as I can it seems to have a brass rim but I donā€™t know what the junk is on it.

Yeah I love surprises too thatā€™s why it takes everything in my power not to clean anything in the field if I know itā€™s good Iā€™ll put it in a special place uncleaned if I think itā€™s trash Iā€™ll put it in my trash but I always double check and clean my trash and it has worked out for me I wouldā€™ve missed a lot of goodies
