(2 tone ferrous) the big looking silver disk I found was about 6 to 7 inches deep. its not a coin but looks like one! the glass looking pipe was found on top of the ground. 2 tone ferrous is very unique! you must swing slow! and listen! I am going to hit the groves hard tomorrow and see if I can pull a silver out finally! I do believe 2 tone ferrous hits deeper targets than coin mode!

you might be surprised on that disc...last coin i had that looked just like that turned out to be a seated liberty qtr (1855). Found it in florida - thought it was a washer but went ahead and did electrolysis.
 

Ya you defiantly want to take a closer look at that disk. Try weighing it. I pulled up a walking half last year that that was melted in a fire it looked just like that. The only way I could tell it was a walker was that I could just make out a little bit of the sun by the liberty's leg. It should weigh about 12.5 grams if it is silver.:thumbsup:
 

seriously, you can build a cheap electrolysis rig with an old cell phone charger and a couple of alligator clips. Give that disc a good cooking and you might be surprised whats under that rusty side. I'm guessing a seated or a barber half, but I've been wrong before....you can also do the olive oil soak, but that could take awhile...Let us know what it turns out to be...
 

its not heavy like a coin. its also really thin. one side appears like it had a loop connected to it like a buckle?
 

:thumbsup: Please do the research on that disc. :read2:
 

I see reeds around the diameter too. Looks like a coin or maybe an old token ??? I'd give that one a carefull, hard look ::)
