Never thought I’d find the other half, I decided to call out on a Friday and go metal detecting in a spot I’d been many times before, the tide was dead low so I could get out to the drop off I hadn’t been able to in past hunts, after about an hour of pull tabs and zinc Pennie’s I pulled half a...

Hi All, I found a little gold fountain pen. The outside cap is stamped 18KR. The nib is 14K. I'm just curious because I have never seen a gold stamp of 18KR, does anyone know what the means? Thanks for any help you can provide! :)

I purchased this 18k ladies gold watch at a thrift store for $3. I have found 14k ladies watches in the past but never 18k or this size. The chronograph hand is broken off and floating around inside. I'm not sure if the watch will work properly. I'm wondering if I should keep it or scrap it. If...

My parents have had this watch for a long time now and they don't know if it's real. It's been locked up for many years and I know the condition isn't great with the seconds hand broke and other faults however the watch has significant weight to it and it also works via pulse after all those...

On May 8th, 2012, I took my week old Minelab E-TRAC to a local park to practice. I had been detecting for over a year with my Teknetics Delta 4000, but while the E-TRAC offered more horsepower, it was also going to take longer to master. After digging plenty of clad and lot's of trash for an...

Not More Junk!.......What? OMG It's Dirt Ice! I sadly lost my Mom to cancer recently and have not been posting here for a while. A few days after the funeral I badly needed some peace of mind that only getting out with my Explorer SE Pro can do. I'd just started to detect an historic house that...
