Zippo

[cmaracing]

Hi all

Got a chance to go out with the kids today, headed out to a beach that I have never had a chance to detect.
Started off good found a nice Zippo, with a symbol for Strategic Air Command, so ok cool not a bad start good strong signal about 5in down.
Now the bad part my AT Pro hit a good strong signal, start to dig and nothing, ok start using PP and its hittin strong on the black rock never had this happen before, i grabbed the rock filled in my hole and move on, all day black rocks have no idea what it is "lava rock?" its not magnetic and my AT was hitting 60-67, Any Ideas?
Now the lets screw with the guy with a detector, as I'm leaving I get a strong hit 70s OK not again so i get out the PP start scanning the sand, PP starts going crazy in one spot move out nothing move in goes crazy there was nothing there grabbed one of my sandwich bags and poured about a spoon full of sand in the bag check the ground nothing check the bag PP goes crazy. ok i give up brought home 1 Zippo 2 Rocks 1Table spoon of sand what a day.


Update: Zippo is an 1989 model

Hello,

Your "Lava Rocks" is just common Coal...
Check the bottom of the Zippo and make sure it say's Zippo on the bottom... They may not replace the entire Zippo, most likely just replace some parts....
Still, good find...!!

Keep @ it and HH !!
