Went detecting today in a late 1800's park where the city had recently tore out an old tennis court. Have found several relics, 4 indian head pennies, 10 wheat pennies, a merc dime, and this ring. There is a maker mark inside and what appears to be a sapphire stone. Any help identifying if it is...
I went out to my 1830s farm site for a couple hours after a good rain storm. It's been awhile since I have been out digging with the drought here. I tried going out a couple days ago but the ground was so hard I could barely get my shovel in the ground. The 1864 IHC is the best one I've found...
Two weeks ago I picked up a Simplex+ after some badgering from a pal. My experience has been good thus far. I've taken to digging everything but audibly low iron signals. I've watched hours of YouTube, and studied forum materials. I'd appreciate any lesser known hot tips if anyone feels...
I found my second Indian Head cent this year. Went to an old 200 acre youth camp near my house that was open from the 1920s to the 1960s. I suspect the site is older since I have found liberty nickels here and older bottles. I was surprised to find the Indian Head since I was finding many...
1901 Barber Quarter Found Detecting an Old 1800's Homestead in PA
Yesterday me and my buddy got permission to detect this homestead that's late 1800's. So we started this site yesterday for about 3-4 hours and ended up being a good day! I found a 1901 Barber Quarter and my friend found a 1903...
Went back to the park where I've done most of my detecting this year and ran into a club member who usually gets some good finds there and recently unearthed a seated dime at Druid Hill Park. Congrats to John.
I hadn't found an Indian Head today and decided to "call it quits", so I made a...
Due to cold weather and snow here in Maryland, I did not get out to detect for a month. I'm sure many of you were in a similar situation.
Today's hunt was something of a first for me, in that I found my first Mexican silver coin and the Buffalo nickel was first mint year, the earliest Buffalo...
Well,I got a box of pennies today and decided to go through them early this morning when I got up. Found a few nice mint state coppers and a few wheat pennies as usual. But,the highlight of this morning's roll hunt was uncovering this 1903 Bronze Indian Head cent. It's pretty much just in G...

After months of asking, my teller finally became convinced I was serious about buying boxes of halves. First time around, she ordered 2 boxes. I go to pick them up already very excited. When she pulls the first box onto the counter and opens it, I see a walker right there in the window. I...
I found three Indian head pennies yesterday: 1869, 1886, and 1903. Unfortunately the 1869 and 1886 cents are badly corroded, but the dates are still readable.
The 1869 and 1903 pennies were found by running my Ryedale for a second pass over the rejects from 50 boxes of pennies with a 2005 zinc...
I am new to metal detecting. I bought a Garret Ace 250 this month and have used it at my father's house in RI. The house dates back to the 1700's and it has a large area of lawn around the house. So far I have found some old nails, old metal piping, shotgun shell, live .22 caliber short and 8...
I searched through 3 boxes of pennies. One box was MWR from Garda (Buff, the pic of the roll is in here as you requested). Other 2 were CWR. One bundle was all copper, pre 1992 pennies, but I only kept wheats and pre 1960 Canadians. I also got a funny ender (Lucky penny) so it turned out as a...
