My earliest coin to date. 1608-1609 Philip III Kings Monogram 1/2 Real Cob.

I now know what left the melted looking gray substance had to have been from the center mass, color matches. Dripped right out of the small vent hole.

What puzzles me is it looks to be totally different materials in a number of places on the outside. I agree after looking at a whole lot of pictures the inside is very uniform. There is a silver flake that looks like it ozzed out of its resting place in the iron, had to be glowing what ever it is.

14.8 gram end slice, medium rare please with no onions. Not the best of cuts, had trouble feeding it through my water fed diamond bandsaw, using a custom jig to hold it down it kept binding towards the end of the cut. Looks like a group of stars when angled in the right light.

Thank you for your response. You never know it very well could be. I'm new to this, as I always thought that it was a piece of coral until I saw the Apollo rocks brought back from the moon. The holes looked very familiar in shapes and appearance that is why I posted it. What ever it is, it was super heated and is loaded with flakes and tubes of possible iron nickel, I hope.

More pics. Blackish green type crust with striations maybe, it is very sparse. Cut a very small window 3/4 x 1/2. The silver dot to the right has 8 sides. There are many minute specks only seen under magnification. Any body out there with any comment would be very welcome.

I have used the Lesche Relic Hunter since 2001, 39.5 inches long with a 5.5 x11 inch curved straight edge shovel with a T handle, its a small root guillotine, its not pointy. Mine is now 10 inches long. When the ground is super hard I use the Predator Raven.

Glad your going to sleep tonight, that crap use to keep me up. I have a collection of lead weights being from the shore area, around twenty or so. Some crude but all hand flattened or shaped. If its lead and has a hole at one end pretty much describes them. Somebody with a bright idea decided to make a mold.

Looks exactly like a rose head. Maybe a big lead whomper. 😉 Check the edges for two opposite holes or existing wire, I have dug seals that big. Nice hunt Mr.

Here are a few more pics. It weighs 1270g. Any feedback is welcome, thanks.

Not sure what this is. It has iron throughout with some kind of white shining metal scattered with the iron. It was found in New Jersey. It passed the magnet test of course but the bigger holes on just one side reminded me of coral or limestone, a NOT by what I am reading. There are very small gray areas that look like glazing on pottery. Thanks for looking. Art

That is a nice hunt sir. Better to dig holes than thinking about digging holes, glad your out hunting. Love finding those Mercury dimes, beautifully designed. Looking forward to your next hunt.

Love the machine and its performance in the field, glad I purchased it.

Nice finds. Like that Marines 2 piece button. The M8 is a deep little coil, have to go by sound as some of the deeper stuff wont trace on the 2d, but the sound is there.

Spectacular complete spectacle buckle, that had to of put gas in your tank. Sweet it is...
