My first find!

[jefe43]

This was coming up as a quarter on my BH Quick Draw II. I fiddled with the settings a bit to try to see what would kill the signal before digging. I figure it is probably a Viking Nautical Sextant from the mid tenth century. What say you? 😃

Yep the sun is out and it is above freezing so I will be headding out again soon. By the way I was pretty stoked to pull that can out. It proved that my cheapo MD works!

My first machine was a Bounty Hunter quick draw II..... I only found copper and clad with it, no doubt some good coppers but... Was not 1.5 years later until I found some silver with the MXT I bought.... Was there silver at the sites I hit with the BH yes because I dug them up years later with my MXT... Guess how I feel about the BH ?? Yeah, I would sell that machine save up and get a better machine. The Ace 250/350 I hear is good for lower end machines. Maybe even an AT Pro that's mid priced, around $600. Well, I hope you dig something good soon !!
Keep @ it and HH !!

I've got the same type and have found quite a bit silver in the 4 months I've been using it... that's what auto notch is for...

Hey! Quick! Get outta the hobby while you still can! It'll be easy right now. If you actually find a good find, even a single lowly zincoln, you will be lost! LOST I tell ya! RUN! Get out now!!!

 

[StormSurge]

I'm thinking Mid Tenth Century is way off. Sextant No! Viking hmm, maybe. Nautical? Yes l think you may have nailed it.
l'm sure that l've seen many of those at the beach. You may want to post it in "What is it ?"

You'll get there

Well I had a great idea if I do decide to give it up. Instead of selling my MD I think what I will do is take it to a park and bury it. How funny would that be to be out detecting and get a hit and dig up another metal detector?!

I think I would die laughing.

I think that tops my pull tab I found today.

 

[nsdq]

Nah, most people would just say, "Too big", and skip over.

HH!
