Hello, I'm new to TreasureNet. I've been looking for any possible ideas on Google and elsewhere what this could be? My husband found it on his property in the house he grew up in, in Northern Ohio, and my father in law had it made into part of his fireplace. The story goes that when my...

So I dug this beauty yesterday! Happy hunting. TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRPnk9yt/ Facebook live:

My Garrett Ace 400 and my $1 auction purchase Coinmaster. Yes, I started my obsession with that coinmaster over 6 years ago. No manual, no pinpointer, just time and patience. When I got that Coinmaster I told myself if I enjoy detecting, then I’ll upgrade. Took me time to save my pennies, but I...

I recovered this from one of my yard hunts this year. It’s approximately 4-inches and has a pond design etched on the one part (you may have to zoom) . Any ideas what it is? I’m still working on familiarizing myself with the different metals. I’m guessing this is either brass or copper. I’d be...

We’re supposed to get rain and colder temps this weekend here in Ohio. So, I hit the field again today and my front yard yesterday evening. I found 7 wheaties in my yard last night. Three were in the same hole and two of them were stuck together (pic attached). 😳 Then, today I found a 1939...

I found this odd drawer pull in my yard - not sure if that’s what it is, but I’m calling it that. It was about 8” down. The face of the figure is unique. I’m not really sure what it represents.

Our soybeans finally got harvested. So, I hit the field today. I found three pieces of a ‘Junior G-Man’ badge. They were in 3 separate holes, all within a ten foot area. I lost the sunlight, but I’ll be back out later this week to search for more pieces. Have a great week! Jumpy solid signal...

Hello! I’m new to the site, and one year in to my metal detecting passion. I’m from western Ohio and spend my free time detecting our homestead which has part of an 1850’s (approximation) cabin built into years of additions. How I started: I had wanted a metal detector since I was a young girl...

Hey Guys, First post here. I was digging in my yard about 1 foot down and I found a couple rocks that looks like this. Some are just crystals that look like glass and come attached to a rock. Is this possibly chondrodite? Any help IDing would be awesome! Would be willing to send a small one for...

Greetings, I am traveling to Columbiana County this week. I have a significant amount of research material (mostly primary) for three different treasures - two Ohio (Springfield and French Fort Duquesne treasures) and the Dent's Run Civil War treasure. First come/first serve. Must come to me...

Got my first silver coin a few weeks ago, a 1937 Quarter. Returned to that site yesterday to see if there was anything I missed the first time around. Heard a nice high signal, but thought it was some sort of featureless aluminum disc after I got it out of the ground. It was getting dark...

I've been at this since fall of last year, and have found a medium-sized-jar's worth of clad, and a small dumpster worth of junk. I've mostly been hitting parks and apparently I'm not the only one. Looking forward to getting some permissions soon. Anyway, oldest coin I've found so far was a...

After a 36 year hiatus, I got back into detecting over the holidays. Yesterday I turned up this interesting find: A (slightly damaged) silver dollar-size, trade token, uncovered in Camp Dennison, Ohio. It's by PYE Clothier, "Clothing Hats and Furs, 5th & Vine Streets, Cinti." It's made of...

I'm looking for any and all local legends I've read up on a few but the bridge family story is the one I'm most interested in I'm having a really hard time finding anything so if you have any info please leave a comment or and other local stories thank u

This is my first year prospecting. Gold is a fickle companion in Ohio and it has been a long year learning how to pull some of the shiny stuff out of ohio rivers. I seperated some of my concentrate this weekend and out popped a few yellow specks.

I live in Northeast Ohio currently, where the dirt goes a few feet (or some places just a few inches) down then turns to clay. Anybody from around here done much hunting and have any idea on how deep you usually find coins? I am hoping to find coins especially from the mid 1800s to early 1900s...

I found this little Ohio "badge" today among some old brass buttons and other small trinkets at a local thrift shop. I would really like to know the age and use of this piece if anyone could help me! Thanks! P.S. The word on the back that's hard to read is "bronze".

1793 Spanish 2 real Very lucky find i would have never dreamed of digging, found this in the middle of the woods where nobody goes next to a 250 some year old tree. 2 feet from the edge of a 30 ft cliff we found this 1 inch underground.

Hello Fellow Treasure Hunters, My name is J.J. and I just got back into Metal Detecting and Artifact Hunting after taking a 10 year break (life and work got in the way). There are no clubs in Central Ohio so I'm looking for some friendly people to detect/artifact hunt with. Using a Garrett AT...

So, we had a TON of rain the other day, due to Hurricane Cindy sending remnants up this way. We have an acre of woods that we have made trails throughout. For the first time, almost the entire woods flooded (rather then a small part that usually does), we all had a lot of fun playing in it...

I am back in ohio... Elyria to be exact. back in the 1980's ( before internet ) i had done some searching and investigation into the Blinky Morgan Gang. Over their reign of terror they travelled from new york through northern ohio , up into michigan , and as far east up north to Toronto...

Our good buddy Dan-O Found a hot spot down at Bills Pure Gold and invited us to his secret hole! Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/SReu-O-oyus

I follow this tumbler account and it may be useful with treasure leads for Cincinnati and the surrounding areas. The author uploads old newspaper articles that are weird, different, and especially interesting. Hope this helps or at least entertains you!:occasion14: Cincinnati Curiosities: Archive

I'm traveling from CA to OH next week and want to detect along the way...Where? I plan on taking the I-40 from California to OKC, then heading into Arkansas for a pit stop. Then I plan on travelling from Rogers, AR area to Dayton via 44 to the 70. When I get tired behind the wheel, I usually...

Seems to have some flowers imprinted in this iron piece. Size is about 8x6 inches. Any ideas on what this could be from? Equipment: Teknetics Eurotek Pro / Garrett Pro Pointer

From Central Ohio, ready to hunt but don't know what! I've been a member here for several years and enjoy looking at other folks' finds and reading their stories. Other than 2 gem mining trips in SC and one short visit to a beach, I haven't done any other searching though I now have the time to...

I found this rock by this creek that isn't even a mile away from Lake Erie. It was cool looking with the Water Horse egg look. The rock was very heavy too. When I found it, the rock had a crack straight down in the middle. Since I'm not an expert and I don't collect rocks, I decided to crack it...

Hello fellow dirt fisherman!!! I bought my first metal detector 3 years ago, some cheap treasure cove model, I tried it, couldn't find anything so it was put up in the shed where it sat for 3 years. During this past frozen winter I ran across this site and enjoyed seeing and reading about the...

Hey everyone. Im new to the site and new to the game. I have been reading posts on here for quite a while now and doing research on Ohio gold prospecting for a year or so now. I have a great secret place down in Chillicothe/Ross county that i have access to that is bound to hold amazing gold. My...

Greenhorn Gold prospecter in ohio here, need some advice on where to look. I live in youngstown ohio by the mahoning river. Found some Flour gold right in my backyard in a spot where drainage has cut out the earth..Pics attached of gold

I found this today while metal detecting with my new Ace 250 on an 1800's farm. I found it near an old stone house near the main farmhouse. It was only about 2 inches below the surface but the area floods each spring. Not sure what it is. It has "55" stamped on the various parts. Thanks

I am a student at Miami University (OH) who has just recently taken up this most wonderful hobby. That being said, I am eager to learn with the adept detectors for I am still in the learning phase. I would be greatly appreciative if anybody would like to hunt with me. I have scoped out some...
