I enjoy coin collecting. I have been collecting for decades. I received a roll of 2004 D Jefferson peace nickels from a friend. He works at the Denver Mint a gave them to me. I have some photos of them. An auction company told me they are face value. I believe that since they are uncirculated...

New member here...very new to artifact hunting. Always been a fanatic of history but only recently started looking for it, rather than reading about it. Currently live in Raleigh Co, WV. I'm just looking to see if anyone could give me a clearer answer to if I have found perhaps a preform or...

Hello All. a little about me. I live in mid Missouri, I work as a chemist, and am a pretty big nerd. I'm wanting to get into metal detecting and am in the research stage. I'm researching a beginner detector that will work on land and underwater to take with me when scuba diving, mostly in...

Hello All. We are very new to metal detecting. So new, that we don't even have a detector yet. We are looking for experts in our area to help with local laws and maybe some group searches. Also looking for any ACTIVE MD clubs near Memphis. We are looking forward to some exciting outdoor...

Just wanted to say hi. I have been reading posts on this site for awhile now and have found much of it helpful. A lot of your members seem to be up on all the crazy politics and government issues we are facing today along with a love for our collective hobbies. I'm hoping soon to find something...

Hello all. I'll keep it brief. I recently got into coin collecting and have plans to explore and uncover my dad's garage filled with scrap metals and mysteries of the last 60 years or so. I will take plenty pictures of anything interesting or worth asking all you pros/ veterans about. I'm...

Hey, I always wanted to become a rich millionaire by finding a box of hidden jewels so I was given a detector for a Christmas gift by my wonderful wife (She regrets the gift now because I am always out looking for the gems). The detector was a Garrett and I had a little experience with using...

Hello, I have been interested in metal detecting for sometime, finally got my first machine, a Fisher F2. I have spent about 8 or 9 hours on it so far, it's really fun, even though I am not finding any good stuff yet. I have been digging a lot of tabs and scrap metal pieces that I thought were...
