metal detecting

Got permission for an Indiana farm, and after finding the Indian Head penny (my only old coin on the day), I was super excited to find my largest shell casing, a Remington Arms .50 cal (likely a Korean War souvenir, right?), and my coolest Hot Wheels yet, a 1967 green Deora. If you’ve never seen...

REVERSE OBVERSE I found this today, and I’m showing the reverse side first, because that’s where I can see the “RICA” at about 4:00-5:00 and hints at the wreath. The obverse has nothing to show. It’s been holed, And there’s rust coming through. The corrosion is topical and rusty, so I wonder...

Just found this in an Indiana yard with some history. It rang up 61-62 on my Garrett Ace 400. Not sure what it is but I figure jewelry off some kind, what with the hinge and all. Any thoughts?

Hey, Everyone! I've just compiled my list of notable finds from the Midwest during October (mostly Wisconsin with some Minnesota thrown in for good measure). Several old coins but lots of relics (a few of which I posted in "Today's Finds" here). I can't copy-paste the format with all the...

While checking out a possible homesteading site we weren't finding much. Best relic was a copper oil lantern lid/wick adjuster jobby. Rest was junk from back country parties and fisherfolk. So, disheartened, I was kickin stones on the way back to the car when I spotted that unmistakable...

I figured I post some of the display cases that I have put together in the past few months. These are all from different sites from across the Western Territories. I am moving away from the Riker cases as I find they take up too much room and are rather boring to look at. I just changed my...

I’ve found my share of Hot Wheels this summer, but this is my first older toy, and I’m really excited to have dig it with my daughter. Found it in a city park which apparently has never been searched before, so I’m definitely going back tomorrow—despite the snow flurries! I found a match to...

As someone who is new to the world of metal detecting, I have found a wealth of resources on youtube pertaining to this pursuit. By example, I am learning technique, the standard tool-kit, legality, etiquette, best practices and ethics. So far, my favourite American Channel is that of 'The...

Things will be getting colder up here in northern Wisconsin, so I've taken some time to post my most interesting finds from the summer. I can't really copy-paste the format from my blog where I posted it originally, so if you're interested in seeing some of my coins (oldest: and 1864 Indian...

Found this pin while metal detecting in a yard with early 1900s artifacts. Lots of Norwegians and Swedes up here in these parts, but I can’t match the shape to anything there, even counties. Any idea of what nation this might be? Perhaps even a specific country or island in Scandinavia?

From the pictures you can see some of the designs and with this little piece excites me. Talk about fancy! It came from the ground green, so it’s likely copper (or mostly so). On this property I’ve also found two WWI-era buttons and two pennies from 1887 and 1914, as well as a whole lot of...

I googled the type on the back of this button to no avail. Any idea as to era? I’m thinking WWII, but I found a WWI military button in the same area of Wisconsin woods just yesterday.

I'm in love with this facebook marketplace find!!! So pretty! I can't find much info about it online though. I found one or two pictures on etsy but didn't say the age. One place said it was Chinese. I saw that one ad said the butterfly part was silver. Looks silver to me but us it coated or...

I was detecting in a little old lady's yard in WI and dinged this ring. It was so light, I thought it was just a cheap-o. But after cleaning it up at home, I found the "10K G.F." stamp, which officially makes it my first gold! Two days later, I found this second ring (brass, I think) with two...

After 3 months of waiting I finally get the apex. Unboxing pretty fast a little disappointed in one thing.

Filing your 2020 Assessment paperwork with the BLM office is just a little different this year.Metal detecting to locate water lines so we can rip out some old tree roots without taking out any water lines !!!!!!! Spoiler Alert No Water lines were hurt during filming of this video !!!!!!!

My Garrett 400 picked up the signal for this a full 18 inches down! We had been told there was a car buried on this property so we kinda thought that’s what we found, but when pulled out the main part of the body was an old lawn mower. But then we pulled out “Maytag” and the cover and we figured...

Found this in a friend’s grandma’s yard. They have veteran family, but couldn’t think of any disabled Vets. Any clues as to what this may have been a part of, so I could steer them in the right direction? No identifying marks, but maybe an old zipper? Keychain? Something else?

Last find before pinpointer broke: milk thermometer? So I pulled this brass thermometer plate from my front yard just now and was surprised to see that it goes from -30 to 270 degrees. That’s quite a spectrum! But then I noticed the etchings on the temps: 32 Freezing; 62 churning; 86 for...

I love finding pieces with fancy initials on them. I found this button at the location of an old church in northern Illinois. Do you think it might be Wells-Fargo? A bit far for Wake Forest, and a bit too old for Will Ferrell! Ha. How does one go about discovering the long-gone companies stamped...

I recently bought a property in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. We got very lucky and managed to fix up an older home right on the water. So a year later i finally have time to adventure! I fired up the metal detector and headed to the beach at low tide. There's bedrock everywhere and the...
