Default No Silver Today

My sister and I went to the old house today, the weather was decent, but with a few sprinkles, It was my only time to get out and hunt before I go back to work. My sister found an old mitlitery button, just like the ones I have found before, this makes the forth one from this house.
I was a little disappointed because I found no coins at all, not even a wheatie. But before we called it a day, I hit on a signal...I dug and it was a large rusty nail. I filled back in the hole, mad at the world, rescanned and yet another signal, kinda choppy ...what the heck I'll dig it out. So about 6 inches down I saw a piece of metal, pulled it out and it broke from something...I looked at it..OMG its the hammer peice from a gun of course I started pulling out what I could see, and I keeped pulling out peices of a toy gun, finally pulled out the barrel part of gun intack. That made my day, even though it was in peices, , I was grateful to find a little something. When I got home I was able to put the gun back together, except for one peice can't figure out where it goes. It may not even go with the gun. The gun reads Mustang on one side, thats the only words I can see.
Note to everyone, always rescane hole...and if another signal is there even if it is an iffy signal DIG IT !! Thanks for looking
