Found this small crucifix in my own back yard. I got off work(midnight) and decided that since it has been raining lately and the weather is extraordinarily warm, why not take another poke at the yard for a minute. Put on my head lamp and went off. I figured since the Hostas lining the side of the property have all but wilted, I could now go over them. Found a dime in there, '67 and some fragment off a toy or something. Then, swinging by the fat maple, I got a decent but sort of iffy signal. I dug it expecting foil or maybe rotted iron. The soil was narrowed down to a small handful and my pin pointer kept telling me, "it's in there...it's still in there"! Finally I located it, thinking it was a compacted piece of foil ... I cleared the dirt and hey, a little crucifix! :thumb_up: Cool! I don't think it's silver though, there are no markings on it.

Nice end to a work night. GL & HH! :)

Maybe a charm from a bracelet, very nice little find.
 

Thanks! This was the second crucifix I have found in this yard. The other was part of a rosary.
 

Hello if you or any one you know finds silver coin like one dollar or half i will buy them from you some thing to think about good luck looking and the best time to look is after a rain i all ways have good luck.
 

That is tiny. Nice finds for a midnight hunt.
 

Jarl, its good to see that the Explorer is treating you well! :icon_thumleft: I hope your neighbors don't wonder if you were hiding something by being out there digging in the middle of the night!
 

Haha! Ya, thought of that already. But they know me well. Yeah, for sure this machine is finding me some cool things! ;)
