Home Metal Detecting

Green as can be

This is my first MD post and I am new to the hobby.
I purchased a inexpensive metal detector and with no idea
of what I was doing I took it on vacation to Colorado in hopes of
spending some time in a few ghost towns along a old railroad line
that was used in the gold rush. The tracks and the bridges are long gone but my son and I where able to make it up to a old railroad stop and worked it for a few hours. Did not have much luck but did find a lot of spent shell caseings and a few washers and something I can not identify looks like a charm from a neckless? I will follow up with a scan maybe one of you have seen one.
Give the laziest man the toughest job and he will find the easiest way to get it done.

    Welcome to the MD forum Teva.....I have no idea what the item is (good pictures by the way), I would suggest going to www.metaldetectingforum.com , join that group and post it on the 'what is it' section... there are a great group of people over there dedicated to this great hobby... and someone usually has an answer. Cheers, RickO

    It looks like that "X" that marks a spot, I hope you remember where you found it.

    Thats what I was hoping myselfimage
    I am off to Vermont next week a good friend of mine just bought a large parcel 500+ acres and he found a old settelment on it and he
    is waiting for me to get there before he searches it. He has been
    metal detecting for twenty years so I hope to learn a lot.
