Great hunt!

Very happy to hear of the happy ending, great work Gerry.

Looks like slag to me.

Thanks for the information on that, I think it looks nice and will see what else he does.

Great find, it looks like someone cut the design into it. Am I correct on that or was it made like that.

I need a beach near me! Nice finds and hope you luck on your next hunt.

If there are coal power plants around the area it could be waste from there once it was burnt. When I was growing up I had seen items just like that from the steel plant near me and that was what it was from. People would use it in their driveways instead of rock because the steel plant would let you take a truck load at a time for free.

Thanks for the video, it was very interesting.

Good find and keep it up.

Steve I think that it should have read "Minelab’s Find of The Year" Glad that they have honored you with their message, but they need to correct their sentence. Congrats.

The thing that I have been doing since it has been so dry at our parks is to shallow hunt on a sense of 15. Once I get a target I will use my carrot to pinpoint the target and then make a small slice across the top of the target. Then I use my knife to get under it and pop it out. Then step hard on the opening of the ground and go to the next target. The park ranger actually thanked me for doing it that way because it has never killed any grass as of yet.

Great finds and I am sure you will fine another great spot in Texas. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Thanks for the update and interesting read, I will try to get the update for me to learn. I had a problem on the download, and read some of the articles about the problem and I will try again when I get back home from TN. We are on a hunt of a life time if we should find what we are looking for.

Steve, Glad that you had a great hunt and found something as old as you have. I could never hope to ever find anything as great as that. Think about what that axe was used for and who could of it belonged to all those years ago. You have brought their memories back to life. The bust reminds me of a Caesar's seal which would of had a wooden handle on it with his seal engraved into it. I may be wrong about that, but it is a possibility.

Same here, but am holding out hope to find some gold with it.

O.K. then all you need now is only 4 of them to weave together to make a mans necklace out of them. Just kidding and it is still a great find, keep up the hunt you may just find the woman who lost it.

Nice find just have to find about 10 more and hook them all together to fit you. Just kidding, but it looks like an ankle bracelet.

Nice finds, keep up the good work there. Stay cool and drink plenty of water in this heat.

Should you of found the cross around the New Orleans area it would be near the 1920-1935 era. It is showing the cross with the sun in the center of it. That design was used in the French areas near N.O. due to the religious beliefs at the time. Some Catholics were converted Voodoo believers and they held on to some of their beliefs. Hope this helps.

That is what I had thought, they are unusual to find but are for things like good luck, safe travels, and many other things like that. If you find one with a skeleton leave it, it's bad luck.

Great find and nice date on it. Keep up the good work.

What type of metal is that Aztec thing? It does look like something I have seen before years ago, but it was brass and came from Mexico. Just asking thanks Valen.

I have noticed that the past 2 days when I have been out that there has been so much noise I had to give it up. There were power lines nearby and the humidity has been high also. There was even a camper who was on his cell phone almost the entire time I was there. I did not think about the humidity until you pointed that out, Thanks for the new information on it.

I have noticed that and try to avoid doing that if I can.

I have to learn what I have now before I start updating. I am still learning the 800 and want to know it before I mess it up with a update.
