This hunt was a "HOOT"!!!

[K1DDO1979]

Had a hour to hunt so I had to go to a close fairly old spot. Got a good solid hit about 5" down and was surprised to see two blue eyes looking up at me. It was a solid brass owl with glass blue eyes. I like getting a weird surprise hunting now and then!








Here's it cleaned up with some soap and warm water!

Can't seem to find any. I wonder if it was on paper or something on the bottom and is long gone.

I was guessing 1950's/60's! It was by a old flower garden so that may have been why it got so deep. My wife loves owls so she claimed it. It's about time I brought something back she wanted. It could be a 1700's silver coin and she wouldn't care.

Cool find, and something different.
Sure he'll look nice on his new perch.

Love the owl ! really an unusual find - I'd probably find a way to buff that bird up - ask a local jeweler - pretty it up some for the
wife !
