I went over to the little school playground by our house last night with my two boys. My son Kenny (kenny161) brought his Ace 250 along, and he found a handful of coins which he posted about last night. My younger son wanted to throw his boomerang around, so I didn't bother bringing my detector.
Well, after I threw the boomerang and it landed in the parking lot and broke in half, it was time to call it a night. I took Kenny's Ace 250 and used it on the way back to the car and got a nickle signal at 6 inches. I dug up this odd silver item. It has two sides of very finely filigreed silver wire - at least I believe it to be silver. Between the two sides is a hard rusty material. It almost looks like it was a pocket knife at one time, but the insides of the pocket knife have corroded and rusted so much that it is now just a block of rust. I find it hard to believe that this could happen to the liners and blade(s) of a knife, no matter how long it is in the ground. Plus, the silver sides are very thin and pliable - it seems too thin and pliable to be the sides of a knife, unless they were attached to very rigid brass or steel liners that along with any blades have turned into the block of rust that is between the two silver sides.
Anyways, here are pictures of what I found last night.
