I finally got out to hunt a bit today,I searched an old abandon home in the woods. I knew overload signals were everywhere so i armed the MXT with the 5.3 trigger forward on relic mode. My first good signal was this thick copper or brass decorative plate that rang in at 88,it seems to have a coat of arms with a wolfs head at the top...any ideas? Next i pulled a 44 wheat at about 5 of six inches then a cool eagle pin that rang in about the mid 50's and was about 4 inches deep. then came a safe drivers pin,on the back says presented by the Aetna casualty insurance Co. It was good to get out again after a few months slacking :rolleyes:
thanx for looking!

oh boy do i envy :envious: you Evan , the thought of just getting out to do some relic hunting sounds great :daydream: hey nice variety of items , the eagle item is a very patriotic styled suspender clip (the ajustable toothed jaw part was on the back and fit into the two small holes but is probably gone right :yes:) the larger copper item with the coat of arms motif almost reminds me of a emblem off a very old car or carriage maker . very cool items thumbsup01

Good on you Evan. Super nice relic finds. Sure do wish us northern folk could get out, but we still got the snow and ice. You give us something to look foreward to. Keep on hunting and good luck. thumbsup01
