Found this metal detecting With a Garrett Ace 400.....There isnt very much iron in the signal but it does have a little.....It jumped from 43, 74, 85, & 99....As u see in the pic, the strong earth magnets are attracted but they fall off if it is moved at all.... Refrigerator magnets don't stick at all. This is how I found the object, with its SUPER SHINY side facing up out of the ground. It was about 1 foot down in the ground and there was no other rocks around it....Really the only reason I dug it was because I was going after a much stronger target that was above it, which turned out to be a bottle cap...I understand that to get a definite answer is to test it, but I would like to hear opinions....The owners of Golden detectors, in Golden Colorado told me that I should take it to the school of mines to have them look at it.....That is the next step..
Does kinda look like some of the slag I've seen over around Leadville. It wasn't quite that shiny and I didn't check to see how the detector responded to it.
