It appears to be copper and about the thickness of a penny. The raised portion has a small gap between it and the main body where I can get my fingernails into. Found in the same park where my post of clad came from. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Had two hours today at a park I've been frequenting recently. The temp was 68° F, and I was able to wear a T-shirt and baseball cap--all things that during a normal weather year would be absolutely insane and likely deadly. I was focusing on quarters so I can come back and focus on higher value targets in the future. Final count of quarters was 43, and total value was over $12. For a park in February in Minnesota, I'll take that all day long! The park is in a low-income housing area, so I haven't found anything of super value yet. The ring is aluminum.

Seems like there was one patent on that date that had to do with bullets and one to do with raising propeller--both probable. https://www.datamp.org/displayIndex.php?start=0&date=1891-01-13

I had to share my 2 hour experience with everyone. Not because of the gold or silver that was found, but for the simple fact that I was outside on February 5 detecting without thermals and chopper mittens in Minnesota! It was over 50 degrees with no wind, no snow on the ground, green grass, and no frost to dig through. In fact, even the worms are within the first few inches of the topsoil. I'm not complaining because it has been a great winter to be here since moving from Florida this last summer. Anyway, these finds were from a small park that apparently has not been hit hard. The watch and large token (closed restaurant in Rochester, MN) each rang in at 39-40 on the Equinox 800. Total amount was $9.13.

After moving to Minnesota this summer, it was time to see what the local parks still hold. The items in the pics represent a total of three times out. Some highlights: 2 50¢ pieces, a silver dime, a buffalo nickel, a State Farm license tag, and 29 dimes from one park that were mostly in one area above the soil hidden by grass. The tool shown is a spark plug wrench that I modified after speaking with an old-timer years back. It is what I have been using here so as not to leave a trace as it has been fairly dry. It works well for coins that are not too deep, and it does a great job hooking the pull tabs. Equinox 800 with 15" coil using park 1

I recently moved to MN due to my job. The MD season will be much shorter here than in Florida, so I was hoping to make a connection with someone in the area. I'm located about 1/2 hour north of La Crosse right on the Mississippi River on the MN side. I mostly hunt turf and enjoy finding almost anything!

If Toy Cars Were Gold I'd Be Rich... (update)

With the cost of used cars being what they are now, those actually may be worth their weight in gold! Fun finds-- thanks for sharing. -
Strange Rock Found While Metal Detecting
Againstmywill replied to The Pest's topic in Rocks, Minerals, Gems & Geology
I'm guessing you found it in close(ish) proximity to railroad tracks? -

These pics are a couple replies to a post I made back in 2020. Credit goes to dogodog for his wisdom.

It looks like a child bike trailer frame to me. -
Wow, that's a bunch of work in writing and uploading the pics! Thanks for the information. 😊
