Weather is finally getting better here and decided to try a old homestead site that has been fruit full in the past. Only had about 1 hour or so of light left so I didn't waste time. I decided to try a little different area than inside the old remnants of a barn. Found a 1939 penny and thought that's about it for today. Then heading back, I got a signal. It was a high tone but different than a coin. It was bouncing around a bit but still a decent tone with mostly 3 green bars. I flipped it to analyze and varied to what it was...but still gave me a good wave most of the time. I decided to dig as light was fading. I dug up part of can about 6-7inches and thought that was it. Checked with detector again and bars were stronger and wave was very good! Thought wow....hear comes the silver dollar but numbers were off. I dug about 4-5 inches more and I came up with a can with some kind of lubricate/oil inside. I once read about a guy that found 100 dollar bill in foil container so I don't throw much away until I get it home. Put the latex gloves on and started cleaning the can to see if any coins inside the muck or maybe the can would be some kind of interest. Then, I got a glimmer! Thought it might be a lighter but to my surprise better than that. I believe it to be a Nazi belt buckle. There was no signs of the belt but after all these years....I guess there wouldn't be much. I had to clean the buckle about 5 times with solvent & degreaser. It came out pretty nice! This makes the 3rd WWII Nazi item that I found. Again, I'm not a relic hunter but....maybe I should change my way of thinking about that?
I really like the analyze screen as I don't know if I would have dug it without it!
