My brother found an old stone carved statue in a field. Roughly 4" tall. It's a woman with with a cloak type garment carrying a basket with her left arm and her right hand is up to her mouth. It looks very old. Thanks in advance for any help identifying this item.

I haven't posted anything on here in a while, and haven't really gotten used to the website, so I thought I would share with everyone one of my better finds this year.

Past years ( 1999-2000)! Here are a few great finds from springs and swim holes along the Suwannee River in Florida. WATCH OUT! It is better to dive during the winter, when the water temperature is low, and the cold blooded gators are SLOWER than you! Big logs underwater will make you look...

Hey guys, I'm 17 and love metal detecting! I just wanted to see if there are any others in my area that would like to meet up and scour some sites in the future. I live in North Scottsdale.

When you sign-up for this Treasure Hunting site, they ask you to fill-in "M_____ Detecting". The correct answer should be "etal". However, the accepted answer is "Metal", thus ignoring the double "M". Am I too anal or should the accepted answer be changed?

Hello All, I was lucky enough to be able to get out detecting for a 2nd day in a row as it was 45 degrees here in CT today! I cannot believe I am metal detecting in January. Well, I hit the same baseball field that I've been detecting my last few hunts and had some more luck, including a...

Here is a video of a recent hunt at one of my lakes. I started off using the White's Dual Field and found some deep targets but after finding about 30 bottle caps I switched to the Excall II and its discrimination capabilities. My friend used his Fisher 1280X. I hope you enjoy the video:

Hi there, I am very new to the forums, so I'm a little unsure whether this post should go here. I'm hoping that somebody can help identify this hammered silver coin, I know that the coin is Edward, but I cannot narrow it down to the exact coin. Secondly I am hoping that somebody will recognize...

Beautiful day but a little chilly for a swim. The important thing is that my Gold Bug stayed dry ;-)

I'm pretty excited about this video. We recently made a trip to my old stomping grounds in Northern PA (Cameron County). There used to be coal mines all over the mountain from back in the late 1800s to 1917. Migrant workers from Poland settled on top of the mountain until it closed. Snoopy and I...

Found this nice 9k cameo ring this evening, assayed in Birmingham but cant seem to find a date letter identical to the one on the ring. It is a small 'b' in a square with cut corners. I have included a picture of a drawing I did of the date letter as my camera wont focus in on the hallmark...

I have not posted on here for awhile so here is my latest vid.

For those new to beach hunting this video may be of help. Anytime there is a new "cut" in the sand as shown in this video there is a good possibility of finding nice targets with a metal detector. It means that some sand has been washed away, often taking the lightweight trash with it and...
