silver

Had a terrific day hunting a school yard that dates back to the 40-50s. Can anyone help explain the penny sized lead disks? Oxidation suggests they are very old. Found not too far from civil war era campsite. They are very symmetrical, almost as if they were coin blanks? Any idea? Also found...

found this near an 1800s site. it was rolled up in the ground and has some fancy at the bottom. It is cut so i’m not sure if it’s the whole piece of not. Anybody have any clue what this is??? And it not no sterling or hallmarks thanks!!

My Grama gave us a ton of junk jewelry in several bags. I excitedly went through them all and was rewarded with two treasures- a 10k broken chain (weighs less then a gram, I don't have a jewelry scale), and a 925 silver earring!!! This is my second gold I've ever found. Also found these two cool...

Hello folks! My Grama had a bunch of old ugly jewelry that she wanted to get rid of. I gladly excepted it! I went through it all and found two treasures, a 10k broken chain (weighs less then a gram, worth around 16 bucks), and a silver earring. It was very interesting and fun to go through it...

Hello everybody! I'm fairly new here on this forum and wanted to start posting some of my finds. Some quick facts: I'm from New Brunswick, Canada, I have been detecting since June of 2017, I am currently swinging the Equinox 600. These finds where made in the last week on a very productive...

Good morning, my friends from the Forum please can someone help me with this research.

Got my first silver coin a few weeks ago, a 1937 Quarter. Returned to that site yesterday to see if there was anything I missed the first time around. Heard a nice high signal, but thought it was some sort of featureless aluminum disc after I got it out of the ground. It was getting dark...

I found my first Canadian silver coin in Crossville Tennessee it is a 1919 silver 5 cent coin at 4 inches deep

These finds are from one of the old foundation sites on my property. It’s the same site I found this locket at http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/629442-can-you-help-dating-find-dug-my-new-site-last-night.html So I found this spoon head and then this tiny peace of metal close by. At...

I've been at this since fall of last year, and have found a medium-sized-jar's worth of clad, and a small dumpster worth of junk. I've mostly been hitting parks and apparently I'm not the only one. Looking forward to getting some permissions soon. Anyway, oldest coin I've found so far was a...

Platinum??Please help me figure what this out. Hey guys so I was wondering why someone who first bought this home that I just bought still owns the mineral rights, so today I panned some dirt that’s underneath of my house and found this metal stuff. Does anyone know what this could be? I...

My 3 year old nephew came over today and asked to look for “treasure!” (Usually that consists of memorial pennies and clad coins.) We headed to our back yard to search around. The back yard has been hit hundreds of times and is very low on signals- so I told him to guide me to the “treasure”...

Today was a great day! Here’s a little back story- I started metal detecting in November and I’ve been absolutely hooked. I’ve detected every single day since. This is going to be my life long passion/ hobby. I’ve found hundreds of coins in my short time digging- But they all have been mostly...

Good morning, my friends please I need to search for a shipwreck on this map who can help me I thank you.

Is this maker's mark... Silver? Sterling? Silver plate? None of the above. Bottom mark on a bowl. I'd appreciate your info. :icon_scratch: It weighs over 2 lbs so I wonder if it has any value. Thx!

What you are looking at is an old tin of “the bunker hill company” 50/50 solder and 5lbs of it. The can is still full and sealed. Could not find any information about it on the web or even a picture of it. Just wondering if there may be any value to it, my father gave it to me when he was...

What is this Can anyone id these finds? silver nuggets or led or aluminium?

Silver quarter found at the CoinStar reject tray! Compare that one-minute grab to a full day metal detecting! :laughing7:
