Found This Detecting Last Week...

Found this last week with my F75. It was about 5" down. I thought about skipping over it because I was sure it was a chunk of copper pipe or something.

Yeah, I cleaned it. But, I figure it has "environmental damage" anyway. It was getting dark when I got it and I'm not sure if I put that scratch in it or not...

Thanks,
Wally

Sweet! Awesome find! I'd skip for joy with that baby! I consider my metal detector more of a metal defector, lol. Never find anything. But you hit an awesome fin IMO.

Very nice, I have only found one Barber Half while detecting, and that was about 10 years ago.
