Well guys and girls I know you haven’t seen me in action must and that’s because I haven’t been getting much action LOL so I cited to go at the place where I found my small grape shot my grape shot that’s the size of a golf ball and my cannonball. So I strapped on my 15 inch coil and when I had it I wanted another cannon ball. And I guys this is the truth I’ve done this twiceI will drive out there for an hour in this heat and I would hear a deep iron signal so I would dig one and a half feet down maybe 2 feet and it was just a large piece of iron after that I will cover the hole up and get my truck and go back home lol I have a great respect for the artillery people because it ain’t easy. But it wasn’t that humid today and I knew this is a short window so I drove out there tried to find another eight riyal like I found last time well that was just in my dreams so I went for the iron. I got a hit about 1 1/2 feet down and remember this is all bricks shells oyster shells very hard digging I’m glad I got my shovel with a little strength it’ll go through red brick like it’s nothing roots not a problem. So I began digging and literally I dog to wear this round piece of iron which I took my finger nail and pulled it out just rolled right to the bottom another great shot I think it’s larger than the other one I got but I’m gonna find out and I also found a old lock which is probably from the 1700s about a foot down I couldn’t be any more happier. Enough of me blabbing I just haven’t found anything in so long lol Thanks guys IMG_0397.webp

Cool relic, congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 
Hey at least you found something recognizable for your hard work. That lock indeed does look very old, cool.

Liked the part about digging down a foot plus only to find a large piece of iron and covering it back up. As I have read a couple of times on the forums that's called a "leaverite",.....leave her right there.:grin:
