I had to work for these coins today

[Mark in S.E. IA]

Today was going back over a yard that I did a week or so a go. The soil in this yard was so hot that I had to crawl a long to just get a signal. If I went any faster then a 4 to 5 sec swing the MD'er would not get a signal on anything deeper then 2" and the signal that I did get were all broke up and numbers were all over the place. One good thing, this yard had very little trash in it. If I got a beep two ways, I dug it.

My finds for the day were a 59d Rosie, "2" V's a 1893 and a 1905, a 1896 IH cent, 5 wheat's and a brooch. Today's IH is my 50th for the year, Since I started MD'ing 4 years a go I've had a goal to find 50 IH's each year and this year is the first year I hit that goal, Yahoo.

I was using the X-505 with the 10.5 DD 7.5 coil, GB at 10 and sen at 18. The IH was at 3" deep and all the other finds were 5" to 7" deep.

I'm calling it a brooch, but I don't really know for sure, LOL

If anybody knows for sure what it is, please let us know.

G4e, Their is nothing on the back. I don't know why I'm calling it a brooch. I should of called it a pendent because of the little hoop at the top. I would say that is where it hooks to the chain.
