Default More Yard Time = Interesting Cross

So I went out in the yard for a little more exploration time. Got a strange hit that bouced back and forth between large silver and pull tab. Following the rule of thumb to dig everything that seems to ping like that I dug up this cross. It is not magnetic, so I haven't any idea what it's made from, but it is another neat find nonetheless.

Nice cross.

I want to hear more about the pinging rule, I very seldom dig those. I think I will start tomorrow and see what I pull out.

Thanks...by pinging, I may have misspoken. My owners manual BH Sharpshooter II says to only dig repeatable sounds. But in my air tests sometimes coins bounce from one sound to another, and my wedding band says pull tab, so I thought the sound (and the pull tab /silver bounce) I got on this one made it worth digging up
