Today's Find 12-2-2023

[sibbley]

Had the Manticore out in my yard today. Got a deep 22-24 signal which I had not run across before. I've been over this part of my yard many times with a few different machines.

Dug this interesting little piece, was about 9-10 inches deep. I had disregarded it at first because I thought it was a small clam shell. Once I couldn't find anything else in the hole, I re-swung over the hole and dirt pile to find the signal in the pile. Pin pointer showed it was the clam shell. Upon closer inspection I decided it must be some lead. Maybe a bullet after hitting its target?

Just thought I'd post this interesting find. Penny is for size reference.



Thanks for looking...

That's what it is, a piece of lead.
Certainly hit something hard.

How long does it take for lead to turn white?

How long does it take for lead to turn white?

Really depends on the soil conditions
