    Nice block! lol... Scrap it. You'll get a few bucks for it! You just never know what you'll find in your own back yard. I was in a park detecting a few months ago and a guy walking his dog started talking to me about detecting. It was in an old town and he told me I could go over his house and see waht was in his yard. He said his house was built in 1970 and I wouldnt find anything. I went over with another friend the following week and he found a king george copper from the 1600s. Any dirt is old...
    Just having fun is what its all about!

    Nice! I wonder what is in my yard.
    Call me a liar, you knew.
    You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right.

    I know there's stuff in my back yard. I think they threw old bottles and misc metal back there. It pops thru the dirt once in a while.

    I bet that's an 8 cylander chevy block. I described it to my husband and he thinks it may be that. I would scrap it for cash.
