My dad is sure he is going to find something like this one day with his metal detecting. He is really big into treasure hunting and unearthing hidden historical artifacts.
I swear that every time you talk to him he brings up metal detecting in some way or another. He even recently created a website with a best metal detector list in the hopes of getting more people interested in the hobby, and so more history can be discovered and learned about.
I think he is a bit disappointed that I never really got into it like he is, but sometimes I do find some of the stuff he brings home interesting.
