Whats the one find that has eluded you?

What's the one find that has eluded you?

Realistically speaking that is. We are not talking about twenty dollar gold coins & the like. Something a bit more realistic.

For me it WAS a silver religious medallion.... then last year I found one.

Now it is a gold class ring... I have yet to find one & I expect it to be a common enough & realistic find.

What I enjoy the most about metal detecting is finding the "firsts" .....hitting that next metal detecting milestone.... like a silver thimble, civil war miniball,that first gold ring etc etc. Things you have seen (posted online) that others have found & wanted to find yourself.
That is what I truely love about metal detecting.... those firsts.

So what is the one realistic item you have wanted to find that has been eluding you?

DERN !

I was going to say a CACHE OF GOLD BARS

I guess I'll have to say, Shield Nickle.

It's the ONLY U.S. Coin I havn't got yet.

Besides most of the Gold ones of course.

Three things have eluded me so far:

1. A coin dated prior to 1900.
2. The winning Powerball ticket.
3. The secret formula for a potion that changes your in-laws into normal human beings.

Oh well, at least I know I'll find one out of 3 someday!

Re: What's the one find that has eluded you?

I have yet to find a buffalo nickle or a mercury dime or a silver washington quarter or silver roosevelt dime or a ben franklin half or a silver dollar or a ring or necklace or...........hmmm, ugghh, maybe it would be easier to list the things I have found, lol. Dimes, nickles in clad and lots of pennies. I just got started (bought my first metel detector last friday) and have had a lot of fun using it. I know the discoveries will come, because there are lots of old and abandoned buildings up here in this part of Minnesota where I live.

I want ANY Barber coin.....Is that too much to ask? Everyone is posting them. What about me? Where's the Barber coin for me?

Re: What's the one find that has eluded you?

Let me see...

A golden ring,
some diamond bling,
a bronze penny from `43,
a silver dime,
would be sublime,
and I am yet to see,
an earring pair,
a fortune share,
of a cache under a tree,
a morgan dollar,
or coin filled holler,
if only it came to be,
if a CW plate,
could be my fate,
a MS token in a tree,
to find none at all,
I'd have a ball,
at treasurenet I'll be!​

Happy Hunting! omnicognic ?8)

Re: What's the one find that has eluded you?

Pre 1900's Silver - I really need to find me some of that. I wouldn't mind a nice bayonet or something like that. I had a site all researched. War of 1812 encampment. I worked out all the details, had everything all set to go and a team of Archaeologist bet me to it by one week Word has it they found my bayonet and then some........... What you going to do Sh*t happens.............. :- Maybe next time.....

Silver, silver, silver, dammit! Found a silver dime early on and thought it was a cinch. Nothing in five months since in spite of a couple of sites where it should have been.
