in Metal Detecting
Hey guys I just got my first cheesey little metal detector and I went into my back yard to the very very back and I got my first find! A little different than the bottle cap or nail I expected.

I'm done detecting there forever though, because it seems to be that I found the last guy who tried to dig here's shovel...

Ok well I just wanted to show you guys my first find!

    Reminds me of that Saturday-Night-Live bit where the guy is metal detecting and finds the same model metal detector that he’s using.

    LOL---- That is funny. I bet you had fun on that one.

    Looks like you need to be careful not to hit the target when you dig. You knocked some rust off ;-)

    I think your digging a shovel as your first detecting find must be some sort of omen... a good omen, I think. image

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    What brand of detector is it?? If you bought a really cheap one you may not find anything.
