Default Strangest find!

Well, since it's the dead of winter and I can't detect until the ground thaws, I thought I would post some past finds.
This here is the strangest thing I've ever found (with my detector, of course). It's a human tooth!
I guess thedetector picked up what's left of the small amount of metal filling. It's pretty nasty!
I am curious as to everyone else' starnge finds.

I guess pretty rare. Too bad it wasn't a gold filling!

This is the honest truth. The teeth and the bracelet with 3 gold rings attached to it all came up in the same scoop! I was elated and grossed out at the same time! The teeth were rubber and that was a relief!

This was Oct 2004.

Holy cwap
You sure got lucky on that scoop.
The good news is that there wasn't anyone hooked to all that jewelery

Guess I need to head to the basement and dig thru all my "cwap" and see if there's something weird to post here.

This could become a very entertaining thread
