I'm guessing it's a decorative piece off of a carriage (found in an area where previous finds make me suspect carriages would park to attend burials at an adjoining cemetery). Anyone?

I've never had a moment of trouble with my AT PRO. Today, after detecting for a short while, it started to false when it wasn't being swung. First, it would show mostly "53" and a mid tone. Then, it started to false continuously -- beeps (mostly mid-tones, but a few others) and numbers all over...
