Keep digging. It might be a spike from a gold ladden chest!!.... All kidding aside, you are just getting started with your new machine and I predict that many great finds will be coming your way. HH.

You might want to put your first find back. It's a cool find but it looks like a property line stake. I could be wrong but it's just an observation. Good luck with your hunting endeavors.

It looks like a circus tent stake. Are you a clown or something.

Looks like a swing arm to a '57 Chevy..in other words, I don't know. A big metal spike about 10" long could have been used to hold down something big. Must have gave you quite a signal.

Wonder if this was the property marker,or a big bolt that steel workers use for reveting steel together with,If all else fail's.It's a big @#$%^%^ BOLT

Thanks for all your ideas. At first I was a bit shaken , cause the night before I was watching Omen Part 3 and when I was digging, it look like one of those daggers in the movie that were meant to kill the antichrist, LOL.
I'm digging for more findings.
