metal detecting

Happy Canada Day to the few Canadians that go on this site! Wearing my red and white canada day shirt brought me good luck today. I went to a playground and was surprised to find a 1956 silver 1.5 inches in the gravel. First sliver from detecting this year!!! It felt awesome! Much easier then...

Found part of an old toy gun from the '50's and this clipped 1970 penny all in one hunt! What are the chances of finding a clipped coin metal detecting I wonder? I've found over 500 pennies and this is the only error (that I know of) I've found so far.

I’m upgrading from a Tracker IV to the new Garrett Ace APEX! I am super excited as the video and limited reviews shows this to be one of the best Garrett Machines. Being that the trackers maximum depth was 5” with almost no ID, the incredibly high technology of the APEX is shaking me in my skin...

Hi y'all! I've cleaned out the old playgrounds that I've found the majority of my finds at... so I looked at Google maps and found a park that I didn't realize existed. What's wierd is that when you zoom up on google, the park name doesn't come up. Just looks like a patch of grass. All the...

I hunted for about 4 hours at the 1896 house that I found the large cent that I posted awhile ago. Well... there is just SO MANY IRON SIGNALS!!! I didn't dig that many signals because it was hard to find a decent singal. Almost all the good signals were shallow modern pennies. I found a pretty...

Hi everyone! If you saw this post at 2 am yesterday, you most likely realized the photos were invalid and unable to load. I have posted this fantastic relic for all to see. Enjoy! Sorry for the sideways photos - How can I fix that? Whoooooo! I cannot believe what I found yesterday! I...

Whoooooo! I cannot believe what I found yesterday! I was metal detecting on a large wooded hillside in Pennsylvania looking for antique shotgun shells. My metal detector sounded a blip that said there was iron under a log. I know from experience that logs have a tendency to mask good...

I’m starting a YT channel and I want to make metal detecting vids. I don’t have anyone that can film for me at the moment so I would have to film myself. It’s kinda hard to hold my camera while I’m detecting and digging. What would be the best way to make metal detecting videos while still being...

Suggestions for some of the best American made, long-range metal detectors? Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! Back in February, I was metal detecting on a hill in SOUTHEASTERN PA and stumbled upon a piece of bent up brass. I tossed it into the scrap pile and continued detecting. Two days ago, I found my box of scrap metal and decided to look through it. Im glad I did...

Im so excited!!! Our old friends own a beutiful, 1896 Victorian house that I've always wanted to detect. Saturday night I was given permission to hunt their yard and I was beside myself with exciment!!! Well! I hunted for about 15 minutes and then I found a really nice soild high tone. I popped...

Today I found a Winnipeg Fire Department button!!! The company that made it, M.C. Lilley & co, was started in the 1870's. The company was started in Columbus, Ohio. Im so excited!!! The only thing that bothers me is I cant get a date on this button. If anyone can help or has info i'd appreciate...

Today while detecting a 1860's cellar hole I came across this possible sword pommel. It looks masonic

Can anyone help me identify this old button? I found it metal detecting about 12" deep. It is made by M.C. Lilley & Co. Columbus Ohio. I cannot find one that looks like it anywhere on the internet. I would like to know what year it is from or what it might be off of. Thanks in advance for any help.

What are some of your oldest and best finds using the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV? I haven't been out much but I have some amazing mid-to-late 1800's houses i want to hit (Olmstead Co. Minnesota) and a Ghost Town or 2.??? I got it for a birthday seems a pretty solid machine, i can find a penny at...

GG & Rex don't see eye to eye.

Haha I was surprised there was any metal in him at all. Btw i looked but couldn’t find any humor/joke finds. Is there a better place to post such finds?

Hello! Enyone bored from being in quarantine yet? I'm starting to get bored and I wish very badly the snow was gone and the ground defrosted so I could kill my boredom with metal detecting. So I found this dime from the change from going through the Burger King drive thru... is it an error...

Hi y'all! *sorry in advance for pictures, I'm a treasure hunter, not a photographer* I had a pretty Ok hunt today at an 1880 house, on a property that supposedly had an 1820 house at one time, I haven't found any evidence of it yet though. Anyway, here is what I found... a 1908 IH, 191X and...

I am just starting to look at metal detecting as a new hobby. I have not even bought a metal detector yet. Any recommendations for one that is reasonably priced yet can work well in 10 feet of saltwater?

Hello everyone! I'm in the market for my first metal detector. I live on the East Coast in NC and am primarily interested in searching in wet/damp sand, shallow water/creekbeds/tidelines, and mud. Basically the beach and marshlands, with some creeks. Though eventually, I will probably want to...
