What do you do with your Finds?

[jay28]

I am new to metal detecting and was wondering what some of you do with your big ticket finds like diamond rings or gold rings, old coins things that are worth a bit of money. Just wondering if most keep it or sell it?

I think that it all depends on your bank account.... Lol if it's a big one you can keep them if it's a red one you should sell them....

I found a 13+ gram gold ring and will likely sell it. It's ugly and I have no use for it. If it were an antique or something my wife liked I would keep it. I will likely use the money for a detector upgrade, coins or bank roll for CRH. I have yet to find any old coins but I will keep them when I do because it was coin collecting that got me into metal detecting.

I have never found a big ticket item. I keep all my good finds. Have a lot of stuff in display.

I put all my neat finds in a glass jar and I roll all the clads

Lets see, my wife and daughter take most of the really good stuff and I get to keep the rest.
All clad gets rolled and deposited.

-clad gets recirculated
-gold and silver coins are sold, I don't collect but I may keep a few as pleasant reminders.
-Relics are cleaned and preserved then mounted, usually on black walnut placks.
-I have a connection with a local dealer who buys the gold and silver coinage and jewerly at an attractive price.
