Talking AT Pro hits a Oldie Relic!!!!

Well....been detecting a neighbors house that used to be an old Pony Express post. Lots of junk metal there to fool you I've been using the Pro in STD mode to improve those nickel like sounds as I can't seem to hear them too well in Pro Mode, although I know I sacrifice about 1/2" in depth I also have just been using my 5x8 DD coil...its a gem, and doesn't weigh as much as a brick like the 8.5x11

So anyhow, got a masonic symbol on my first hunt. On my second, I got a pizza place token, new clad, junk globs of metal, and then this:




Also...finds to date:




I thought at first that it was a dog collar....but changed my mind when scrubbing it.

ITS A 1924 CHICAGO DRIVERS LICENSE BADGE!!!!! IN MINT CONDITION!!!!

To say the least, I'm pumped about it, and sent emails to the Chicago Historical Society if they know how much its worth or if their intersted in it, and also to my local historical society. We will see.....maybe another $50 relic

Yeah, these few months have been going pretty well. Heck, who cares about silver when you get a WF token worth $50 LOL. I posted a craigslist ad hoping to get attention to detect older properties, but nothing good yet....we'll see
