Now that's interesting. Very cool find! Along 127 in Tennessee? I wonder how long the 127 route was there before it was the 127. Could be a souvenir from WW1 or WW2 soldier that brought it home and the kids found it and played with it outside. Lots of scenarios I guess.

This is a pre-colonial map. Maybe a traveler lost some loot along the way north and south.

I found this at one of my permissions which is a field along highway 127 that I hunt after they do the annual yard sale. Wondering if it was part of that as their are a lot of people selling antiques and collectibles. Got rained out and only got about a hour into detecting.

Of course thats how it got there.

I can't give a full attribution because I can't make out enough of the reverse, but can tell you it's;
Diocletian AD284 to AD305.
