Weird park find today

[Shorty Buckshot]

Had a couple hours to kill this afternoon so figured I would hit a small park.....it has 3 baseball diamonds and a basketball court.....Found the usual trash and some clad....at the edge of the park behind the diamonds is some woods....I saw a small path going into the woods and decided to follow it, detecting along the way......got a big signal about 4" down so I started digging it......saw some wood with rivets in it first...kept going and pulled an old hand sickle out....looks like its been there a while....very strange....

Maybe a clown dropped it on the way to a party?

it's a murder weapon

it's a murder weapon

Yes I agree. Probably murdered many many weeds in it's day!

Strange indeed

looks pretty good for being in the ground

Looks a lil' creepy

Ok, the sickle was dropped by the Creepy Clown who haunts those woods looking for lumbering metal detectorists to wander in unawares! Good thing he lost it or you may have succumbed to a grizzly fate. Seriously, pretty cool find and in good enough shape to be cleaned up and put back to use. Ya' just never know what you'll find next?

Now you need to find the hammer that goes with it.

A beautiful wall hanger! Put it on a can of soda and call it a popsickle. Sub

That would make short work of chopping a head.
