Unique find

[Metal.detective]

Hunted a local lake yesterday with a good friend. Went to a party island only accessible by boat. Found this 1982 nickel that someone took the time to carve the center out and make a cross. I know they hated losing this. We had fun finding it.

Like the uniqueness of a find like that it is what I like about this hobby

 

[Metal.detective]

I agree. It's like fishing on land (my other passion) you never know what that next cast or swing is gonna bring!

Someone had toooo much time on their hands Metal.detective!

I don't know...i figured it was someone's good luck charm. Lol and you're right...way to much time. The edges are cut perfectly. Sorry for the blurry pictures. You can only do so much with tired shaky hands and a cell phone camera after almost 6 hours of hunting.

I figured we would've found some jewelry from all of the drunks that go out there. But nada. I could only do so much in the water. Crappy water scoop...which will be fixed on Saturday because the T-Rex will be here. Then I'm waiting for June to get the new Gray Ghost Amphibians for the ole AT Pro. Deeper water here I come.
