The sound of his nails on metal made Valentine recoil slightly. He paused midstep to shuffle the offending paw off the metal scrap and hung his head to get a better look at the object. It was almost entirely buried and only a small portion of it lay exposed. What he could see of it shone dully and was flush with the ground. He couldn't tell what it was, but he was on a mission and it was worth investigating. Rhys had somehow gotten it into her head that she needed to wear something on her head. He couldn't imagine where she'd gotten such an idea. It wasn't like she had a packmate that insisted on wearing a skull mask.

Gently the brute started to scrape around the edges of the thing. He wanted to dig it out - or at least enough of it to see if it was wearable - but he didn't want to elicit that godawful sound again. He had half a mind to make Rhys dig it up since she was the one desperate for headgear, but he had no idea where she'd gotten off to. They'd parted ways close to Imperium and he had no idea if she'd even wandered north. The hat or mask or whatever it was exactly she wanted and their little bet to see who could find the right thing were both her ideas, so it only stood to reason she should do the digging.  To win all he was obligated to do was find the thing.

After working diligently and - carefully - on one side of the thing Valentine managed to uncover what looked like the beginnings of an opening in it. The way it was curved held just enough promise for him to keep digging. With a little imagination he could maybe see it having enough curve to fit a head.
