My luck in identifying this item has no been so good. maybe some one here can help. But this was found one day a few years ago, when time was limited, and I could not go to off to one of the places that I liked to hunt. Yet still wanting to detect and use my XLT, I did what I had read in many articals, I began searching my own back yard. Although I had used the machine in the yard before, when I got it new, I never realy gave my own yard the proper attention.
It seems like, the thoughts of old coins and treasure are out there at other places, away from where we live. I had always traveled away from home to do my searching. Although I must admit I was a little upset that day, as to the reasons that arose, that I was unable to go off and hunt where I wanted, so I figured that I would go in the back and dig some junk. I did find a small amount of clad coins and a kitchen knife that one of the daughters lost out there. But in the far back of the yard I got a signal that said it was in the dollar range and a good solid signal at that. pinpointing said it was at Five inches. So I dug it and in the bottom of the hole was the item. I dont know if it is some kind of badge, or a watch or key fob. But it realy made my day. It is in excellent condition with no scratches on it, and the time in the ground has not eroded it. So now when people ask me where do I find the good stuff? I tell them that one of my best finds was right in my own back yard.
