It is very fragile so I'm not going to try to do anything more to it, however I did find that it also has a top hole. I tried a few lighting angles to see if there are any obvious letters on it but I dont think there are. These objects seem to have a common name, "Roundel". Usually a furniture or uniform decoration, maybe attached to leather for varying decoration. That's about as much as I can find with a cursory search. Yours looks Egyptian, here's an example of a Roman one: I swear it looks like text in the areas GHound mentioned, but anyway this might help you a bit. ? utterly fascinating item. ? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 D2-V2-Part Deux! I went back to the same spot today and took the same setup (D2-V2-11 Coil). I really should have taken the 9" coil because I went deeper into the brush, but the 11" did alright. I started out using my same Fast 24K program and dug more iron on purpose to clear some areas that may be hiding other goodies. I even dug out a couple of enamelware pots. I wasn't finding as many old non-ferrous targets today so after the first hour and a half, I dedcided to head back to the car. I figured I might as well try something different on the way back out, so I switch to the stock Goldfield program which has been beefed up in the V2 update. I changed the IAR to 5 and bumped the Reactivity to 3 and, man, things came alive! I did have to watch the screen alot more because the stock Goldfield uses Pitch audio, but it was definitely going deep so I didn't mind. And shortly after switching to Goldfield, I hit a solid 91 about a foot from where I found the Seated quarter before, but about 5-6 inches into the hill slope and on edge I popped out a nice 1942 silver Mercury dime! Then I found a nickel or chrome plated bell with some sort of mounting device in it which makes me think that maybe it was an early electric doorbell. It just crumbled in my hands when I took it out of the ground. ? I also found another round thingy that @Geologyhound was asking about right near where I found the first one. Then I dug the fly fishing reel about a foot down. I have no idea of the vintage on this one. The last good target was the large D-ring in a metal mounting. So another good day on the relic site. One bad thing did happen. I managed to lose my 12" Devils Tongue Park Probe that @kac made for me. It dropped out of my pouch somewhere and even after retracing my steps it was nowhere to be seen.? So I'll be ordering another one of those. But I will say I was quite impressed with the "new" Goldfield program on an iron filled relic site. That's just one more very useful tool in our bag of tricks, so big Thanks to @Gary XP for showing that in his latest video and Thanks again XP! ? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Nice additions Cap'n, and sorry you lost your Park Probe, lost mine recently but found it under some stuff in my RV. If you have a tool belt, I strongly recommend this rather pricey scabbard for your next one: https://www.amazon.com/Occidental-Leather-5032-Tapered-Holster/dp/B000KL56FS It oozes cool. ? Sent one to @kac, not sure he uses it with the longer version but it should hold it just the same. I was one of the field trial recipients and was so grateful I thought I'd recompense. It is intended for an "Ironworkers Bull pin", whatever that is, and I imagine there are other sizes but this one is perfect for the original Park Probe. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 So when I got back from vacation yesterday, I went to pick up my accumulated mail and found this in there... All I can say is a huge Thank You to @kac for replacing my lost Park Probe! He also included a new model he's developing for relic hunters to test for him. I am calling it the Relic Reaper after @F350Platinum's Relic Reaper program. kac may name it something else to avoid a law suit, ? so how about calling it the Dirt Shark! ? Watch for a post later on for more about that. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely slice and dice and make mounds of root slaw!? The new "Dirt Shark" made made quick work of tough knotted root balls in the scrubs! ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
