Hi, everyone, and thanks for having this forum!
About ten years ago, I bought the cheapest of the cheap, a Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker, and never really used it til a few months ago. Even though it's cheap, I'm having a real blast!
I've found a couple of interesting things lately, and wonder if any of you have any ideas on how to identify finds?
The first is a couple of tiny rocks (2 cm?). While digging, they emitted an alternating broken and high tone. I could see something shiny in one of the two, so I chiseled through the other and found what you see here on the inside. I've stacked them on top of each other to make easier to see inside. Also included a super-closeup from my DSLR. Non-magnetic. Anybody seen anything like this?
These others I found grouped together within a few feet of each other. Pretty deep (for my detector) - maybe 10 inches - and a very strong high tone. Non-magnetic. At first I thought maybe it was something man-made but now I'm not so sure. The largest of these is probably about three inches. I've cleaned them as best I can. (you can also see some of my other finds behind there - found my first dollar coin the same day as these!). So addicting!
Any ideas here?
Thanks in advance!
