XLT+DC PHASE = Ya'll got to see this one! UPDATED PICS!

Wow what a find ! After having to cut my dig short yesterday at a new spot short I decided to head out today and beat the rain and do some swingin . Glad I did after scoring 3 musket balls, and 3 .54 cal three ringers I hit a signal faint but at a 85 which I was thinking deep bullet so away I started digging 1 foot nothing solid signal , and finally at two feet literally I found some iron at first I thought artillery shell but after diggin out a 2 foot x 3 foot hole I pulled it from the ground and just had to sit down for a moment after realizing I had just found one of the coolest things I have ever found a 1800's slave shackle and chain . To me this is a" banner find "as you dont see one of these found everyday . I put a picture of the a example I believe looks closest to the one I found . I had video tapped it but unfortunatly I forgot to turn the volume up so I will try again on the video thing next weekend ! Thanks for looking ! Did electrolysis on it and for 3 days and not to good of a result but I found a new product im using from now on its called METAL RESCUE and DRY COAT . This stuff is the bomb it did more in 3 hr than electrolysis did in three days ! Still working on the chain will post pics all together when its done !

Pretty cool find if I dont say so myself , the shackles in the example pic sold for $500.00 . I am going to do some electrolysis on mine today .
 

Nice Find Buddy..(Find's)

Thanks everyone , I am still in shock that I found that , I have it cooking right now and all the detail is coming threw . I wish I could give the location but the owner of the property asked me not to mention name or location but I can tell everyone it came from a very historic part of history. And it really belongs in a museum I guess mine for now but I am considering it , if it would be properly displayed. I will post a picture of it when its done cooking its going to be a couple of days till its done.
 

cant wait to see it IF69.
i vote banner due to historical significance w/o a doubt
 

Although I am new to the forum I have to say im speechless. I noticed you mention possible donating it to a museum , I work part time at a local museum and I have to say I bet our curator would be interested in that piece . If you decide to donate it let me know I will have the curator contact you . Wow awesome find !
 

You got my vote ! What a historical find ! Very cool find !
 

Great find! Love seeing that history, and the fact that you would consider sharing it with others for them to enjoy as well! Excellent! You have my banner vote as well...
 

very nice find! gz!:thumbup:
