Between this and the two nice arrow heads I've fond in the las two days, my luck has changed and it's going to be a good year. Getting better with the Ace 250. I've really gotten some good advice on the machine from folks here, learning the signals, and my holes are smaller. Thank you.

Found this about 6" down, rang as a nickle. I think it is a copper pin of some sort. A friend said it may have double as a necklace? The part above the pin clasp would slide over a neclace or a scarf? I'm not sure. The detail is nice, I have only washed it with soap and water.

Any ideas on age or exactly what it is would be greatly appreciated. How should I clean it up? Soak it in olive oil?

Thanks Folks!

Thanks everyone! I really am surprised I haven't found a sewing machine, I can't sew, so it SHOULD have shown up.

I was amazed how quickly PBK Id's her. I was able to tell anyone who looked at it just what it was. Thanks for making me look good PBK ;D. By the way how "DID" you know that? Job security?

Actually Badger the Arrow heads are my first LOVE. I've been collecting them since I was able to walk. My Dad introduced me. This is what took me to the next level. I figure I can detect, and watch the ground at the same time. Two birds?

I really think I would rather find the relics rather than the 1900's coins. I can get the coins as pocket change? The story the relics tell.........you can almost hear the "fish stories" each one tells? Don't get me wrong give me an old coin and I'll do the happy dance. But the mystery behind a relic..........

Just ask PBK..................Thank You!
