It's a spot behind the smoke shop that I buy my tobacco and smoke stuff from, well I was out of lighter fluid so I decided to kill two birds with one stone this morning and brought my metal detector along too. I didn't find any old coins today but I found a really cool old medallion and yes there really is a Kalamazoo

Not positive but it looks like some sort of a finial, I ended up destroying it cause there was something rattling around in it and come to find out it was a piece that had broken from something else and fallen inside, it's in with the scrap nowOriginally Posted by Kzoo Detector
