I haven't opened it. It takes 4 grown men to carry it. I was out minding my own business in the back yard and kept getting this weird hit with the Garrett Eagle Eye. I started digging and after 4 feet I called in the backhoe. My stepdad arrived and after digging 12 feet we found this solid gold box. We had to pull the gold box out with the backhoe, the gold box was way too heavy. It has writing that looks ancient. :dontknow:

We found one that was slightly bigger than that in London while on vacation. While we were trying to move it to a better place for examination, a bunch of museum guards became very angry and chased us away! Brits don't have Adsense of humor about people with metal detectors in the Tower of London. We also found some nice gemstones, but same story, chased off again!
 

I'm guessing plated or clad.
