was detecting an old bridge site on the Chatthoochee river in North Atlanta where Hernando de Soto was reported to have past through Georgia in 1540.

but I don't think this was part of his treasure he left behind. It contained a 1984 quarter, a decomposed $1.00 bill and a piece of cherry taffy that I discarded.

This was my funny find of the week. Otherwise on this hunt I just found some clad in the bridge area.

Wife's family for yrs. has put candy,coins and/or folding money in plastic Easter eggs. Sometimes they forget to count how many they're putting out so they don't know if any are missed. A couple of times I've found them in they Mom in law's yard months after. Could be something like that? Cool find. Good luck
