what do you think?

could be junk could be more? Our attempts at cleaning this did not fair well. The item came out of the ground in 3 pieces. The other 2 pieces kinda just crumbled away but had the same blade like shape I will take pics of what is left when I get back to my dads. The item was found in the saltwater flats where I have found civil war relics before.

Me thinks you need to set your iron mask a little higher.

I can definitely see a "Bowie Knife" shape to it but that thing has a long way to go before it can be IDed 100%. I certainly would have brought it home with me also. Good luck and if nothing else you are getting some good electrolysis practice.

txkickergirl, at least your find looks like a knife. Check out my my spanking new pocket knife I dug yesterday, speaking of electrolysis

thats just it the sov has iron discrim. This thing has steel in it.

It is interesting that the "rust" associated with the iron has a different response pattern than iron. It actually gives a pretty good signal. So you can disc iron but the rust will fool you.

It looks more like a pocket turd.
