Outlaw finds a little history

[klever]

Founds this about a week ago while detecting a house from the early 1900's, It is a G.A.R. Badge. (Grand Army of the Republic) Here is a link with a better picture and history.

Although the Outlaw is not as good as my Eldorado was (God rest her soul) this is still a very nice detector and is really good on silver and jewelry and just plain weird finds. I basically use it in older houses. If you have one definitely dig the very soft and iffy signals, those seem to be when I get my best finds.

Nice find Klever, I found one of those several years ago. Half the fun is researching the strange items that we dig up.

Great find Klever, I think medals like that are more fun to find than common date silver coins. Like you, I live for those faint, small and modulated signals as they usually turn out to be something good.

Here is what the GAR building in Detroit looks like now. The red doors are fairly new. I don't recall that last time I saw this building in person.

I would love to detect in Detroit. I detected years ago on Belle Isle around an old concession stand and found a lot of silver. I wouldn't do it again without backup (if you know what I mean).

Wow that is one strange looking building. Does not look like it is very wide at all. Maybe just the angle of the pic.

The building is triangular.

Most of Detroit looks like that, boarded up and abandoned.
