pennigold Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 My very first find with the ATX, metal butterfly. Kinda strange, in a wash way out here, just goes to show me how things travel in these dry washes that only run 3 or 4 for times a year.Maybe the next pic will be GOLD, well I can wish! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) That's the end of a barbed wire spool. They migrate all the way from South America and lay their eiggs in mesquite. The caterpillars make cocoons in the fall and roll themselves in barbed wire.There was an old country and western group named after those things. They were called Iron Butterfly. Did a sad ballad about the garden of eden. You might have heard it?I use them for the framework of my wind chimes. Hang it up and then hang all your detector finds from it. As you find more junk the windchime grows. I had one that weighed 600 pounds before it broke the tree limb. The skeleton of the creation was those "iron butterflys" and old pieces of chain. Anything ande. everything I found for 3-4 years got wired up there. Edited February 5, 2014 by Bedrock Bob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au Seeker Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I thought it was a hymn...http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HlwtgaQZYDII believe that many of my friends back in the day did as well, they did say they saw God while listening to this song, but I don't think it was the song that caused the illusion!
