This one did not get Away – Eagle Breast Plate Nashville TN

[Mike N Tn.]

I reeled this one in at the last moment at 8:00 pm tonight. It was right beside a dozer where I have permission at a construction site in Nashville TN. It was in a dirt pile that was 10 inches tall. I barely got a 45 reading on the F75. I kicked the dirt pile away and the Plate was another 8 inches deep. It rang at 55 once I kicked the dirt pile away. I think this Eagle Breast Plate would have been hauled off tomorrow if I had not recovered it.

Nice one. It's been living a charmed life - survived the war, survived the dozer, and just missed getting hauled away to oblivion

Gonna wear it out "Great Save" IMO some 80% + of the Non -Protected Sites in the Metro Atlanta area have been / being developed.

It's in super shape as well.
