When Ronstar is away, his buddy will play....

Ronstar has some lame excuse for being out of town. So I went to a usual haunt, and about 100' from where he found a Peace dollar, I got a solid silver signal with my CTX. Much to my amazement, out pops an artillery shell. WTH?

On the headstamp: '37mm Model 1916'. The AEF's bunkerbuster. .44 mag is shown for size.

Additionally, I found an 1888 IH , a 1926 D Buff, and a silver health alert pendent, probably from the late 50's. The person that lost it is allergic to Penicillin, Erythromycin and bees.

Wish I would have found some silver coins, but it isn't every day one finds something like this.

I would never had dug the motor shell.
But then again it would depend on where I was.

I reckon this will teach Ronstar to stay in town. Lol Congrat's on some nice saves.

I didn't pay attention when the shovel brought it out of the ground, as a curious somebody walked right past me at that moment, so my eyes where elsewhere. My hunch is it was straight up/down in the ground, so my machine just saw a big silver dollar sized circle.

Makes that 44 shell look like a pea shooter, size does matter.
