Detector New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 12:27 pm No I don't think so. I found it in 2 pieces and looked for the 3rd. I first found the main part and on rechecking the dirt found the smaller piece. It is corroded at the break on both pieces likes it's been apart for quite awhile. Report this Post to the Staff

Detector New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 3:08 pm I will try and get some better pictures when I get home and post them. It's about the size of a US quarter maybe a tab bit bigger. It is pretty heavy for it's size. Report this Post to the Staff
