Detector(s) used
whites mxt
well i hope every one is doing ok, and getting in plenty of swinging time. i havent been able to get out latley , my life was recently turned upside down. we had a break in and some of my wifes jewelery was stolen and a portion of my coin collection, forntunatly my md gear was in the trunk of my car the day it happened, i would be crushed if i lost my only detector, well enough of that. i hit a empty lot in mesa az yesterday and this is what i came up with. 1 tigers eye gem inlaid ring "junk pile" a small heart silver ring,a junk metal chain with heart, 2 silver washingtons 1944,1941, a unknown coin or disk came up with a vdi of 80 i looked at this through a loop i couldnt id it but i dont have any expertise on really old coinage dating before the 1800's. a modern house key, and a metal fly that seems to be made out of some kind of alloy. its pretty heavy the wings open up and it has a small compartment inside. it aslmost feels bronze in weight texture and color. if any one has a guess or clue drop me a line. well good luck on the hunt.
