First artifact find detecting with my niece. It was fun to pull it out of the ground with her she ran to show it off ASAP lol. She wanted to detect with me but at first made a fit over dirt and worms. I told her she better get used to it if she wants to do this And to scoop some dirt out. She took some rocks from the ground to add to her collection. I'm glad to have some kids excited with the hobby
Sadly the stock number is mostly worn out but some numbers are still legible. The chrome is surprisingly intact in many places which was a nice shiny surprise while cleaning up today's catch of booty!
To my eye this is a 2-3 ft piece of structural rebar with bolts still stuck in.
Scrap can be discouraging but interesting too. Pulling it helps clean up signals In an area for future detection sessions.
This was the first good find of the year right in the back yard. Many people discriminate the iron signals out of their detectors but its good plug practice that can sometimes pay out with genuinely interesting artifacts.
Welcome to Metal Detecting! I hope this will be home to fellow detectorist to talk and share their finds.
