metal detecting

Hi Guys and Gals! Exciting find today on my first official 2015 dig near Green Bay, Wisconsin... I found a few cool things today enjoying the spring-like weather, but here is my favorite. It's a Old Copper Complex Archaic Indian Spear Point. It dates from 4,000 to 6,000 years old (2,000-4,000...

The Good Luck charm was about eight inches down and on edge. The signal was very repeatable and had the E-Track totally pegged out on the conductive scale. It was an obvious signal but the search coil had to be swept slow and low or the response was not repeatable. The brass badge says...

Went detecting today in some brown sandy river bottoms. First and only coin find today was this 1863 copper nickel alloy IHP, my first fatty one ever! Found the IHP first then checked again and still signal same area dug some more and got this lovely square nail. Its a good guess that it would...

Got out with Lookindown with permission to a 1918 house. Found some nice relics and a four silver coin spill. Three Mercs and a Rosie. We had a great time. Check out the video below.... Finding silver isn't easy here in central Florida but my goal this year was ten silver coins on land and...

Hi everyone, I went metal detecting with my Fisher F2 metal detector at a park in Palmerston North, New Zealand two weeks ago and found this unknown hood/bonnet ornament. I've tried Googling it and posting it on Youtube but so far no luck. People have thought that it is off a Vauxhall...

This is my first post, so i'll try to keep everything short and sweet. I live in crawford co arkansas, and figured I'd go out on my grand parents land today and do a few sweeps as it's right off the Ozarks. Anyways while detecting a creek I came across this rock. Something I've never seen...

Hey y'all, Maybe I should have posted in 'What is it?' rather than coins, because I have no idea if this is even a coin, though I figured if it is a coin you'd be the guys to ask. But anyway, found this in Southern Ontario, 10 inches down around a baseball diamond that used to be farmed at...

Today was a good day to hunt again soil moisture was good but the heat was up just a bit. The aluminum was brutal today tho I ended up emptying my pouch before the hunt was over ! Did find one item of interest, funny how there is almost always one at least !! My wild guess is that the wizard...

Found this very heavy dolphin artifact today! Wonder what its uses were? Wild shot in the dark, "Flipper" used as a pipe tamper ??? It does fit into my fingers perfectly when nose down.

UPDATE: CLEANED! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRAPED BUST LARGE CENT I HAVE EVER SEEN! Here is a somewhat recent photo of the large cent after a long soak in oil. I'm surprised I never put this picture over here already, I just realized I had this photo after having it for 2 months or more today when I...

Hello everyone, I found this item on the beach, near the Pacific. I believe I found 2 of these, but I can only find one at the moment. It registers as metallic, of course. Any thoughts in what it might be?

Went to a friends yard today this is the only coin that turned up, think the mosquitoes got more than V cents worth of blood! Looks like the date showing is 1903, maybe should try the ketchup cleaning method ? If it cleans up good will post again, thanks for checking out todays finds !

First I found my biggest ever mans silver ring which was between four and five inches down and then about five feet away there was a signal that was showing up in the 17 to 18 range. It was a faint mellow sounding tone and very smooth sounding in pinpoint mode. For some reason after making a...

These are all of the paper shotgun shells that I have found so far this year, not counting the paper shotgun shells from today. Thanks for Looking, Coinman123

Hi all, I bought a Gold Bug Pro a few months ago because I read that it was tailored to highly mineralized areas like the East Fork river. I've been there a few times but have found only trash; I've looked on the inside bends, on the banks, in the middle of the river, etc., with no luck. I...

I went to a new location to metal detect at, but the second I got there it realized that going there might have been a mistake. On the maps this place had looked so good, and it was right in the middle of a colonial town. As I walked down the trail I could already see junk on the surface. There...

I'm looking for some people to help dig this Civil War site that's never been detected. It's right down the road from me. Skirmish at Hurricane Bridge

I thought that this thread idea would be kind of cool. I'm wondering how long it took you to find, and if you found each find, Putting which region you live in would help: Ex. Midwestern United States wheat penny (Me: a week (1915D) ) Part Indian head cent (Me: a year (1864) ) silver...
