What's the odd thing you like to find?

I love finding Mule Shoes. Not horse shoes but mule shoes. The bigger the better.

Elongated pennies. I had never seen one before I started detecting and had picked up three or four before I realized what they were. Now I have quite a collection and I consider it a good hunt anytime I find one.

Boy or cub scout neckerchief slides. Had never found one then found 2 within a couple of hours.

I like tags or tokens. I found an old brass baggage tag from a railroad firm that was prevalent here in the 20's. I'd love to find a chauffer's tag, or a cabbie tag, but I doubt that will happen because I try to stay out of urban areas. I'd love to get a couple silver thimbles.

Antique Whiskey Caps!

Antique Whiskey Caps!

Antique Whiskey Bottles are even better (especially if they still have a cap so you can find them) I found a partially full bottle of circa-1890 whiskey in a trash pile, metal stopper and everything. I went to dump out what looked like water in it down the sink when I smelled the strongest most nose burning smell ever, like pure alcohol and mothballs. The smell stayed in the house for around two days. I still have the bottle with some whiskey inside that never came out of the bottle, it stays WITH the metal stopper on at all times because when you take it off the smell comes back.

Wow, That thing is awesome! I would expect the photo would be gone by now. I think it is a mourning brooch. I love the personal connection with it

I like finding old advertising tokens. Back in the day companies sure took pride in making sure their brand stuck in your head
