Alright I've been a bit lazy about posting my finds lately but some things just need to be shared. My first good find of the day was an old buckle cover that dates back to around the 1880's or so. Good find for my relic pile, then after a makeup tin and some other stuff I found a 61 Rosey. After...

Found this at the low tide line yesterday on beach in St. Augustine area. Is it old because of the shells stuck on it? Generally how long does something need to be in the water for this to happen? And, if old, why hasn't it corroded away (if it were iron)? I scraped and edge to show the metal...

Hi frieds :) After a hard weekend full of snow, cold and digging, here is a new video about how Nils found this HUGE old ring. Enjoy ;)

Amanda and I have officially waged war on silver. Particularly silver coins. Sure we'll take silver jewelry and gold but this silver war is personal. The first coin in our sights is a mercury dime and if you make it far enough through this video you may see us detect our first one. The first...

I woke up a bit late this morning but feeling good and decided to make the most of what little time I had. Today's target was an old homestead that I know very little about other that the fact that there is virtually no trace of it above ground today. I only had 2 hours to hunt so I was just...

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I just finished looking through 10 half dollar bank rolls and found this... It appears to be silver, the edge of the coin is one reason why it does, also the metal just looks different overall compared to other non silver half dollars. This wouldn't normally...

I found what appears to be crudely refined silver. I've gotten two conflicting reports on the % of silver in it. That really doesn't bother me. What I really want to know is the date approx of its smelting. Is it possible to date metal? Unfortunately I pretty much toothbrush scrubbed the patina...

Hi gang, Talk about bizarre--the other day we found two, draped bust large cents, and today we find two Morgan Silver Dollars! I should add that John's eight-year-old son, Johnny, found the older coin on his Ace 350! Way to go, Johnny! Also found assorted buttons. The Morgans are 1883 and...

Hi everybody, hope you are well. I am posting a few jewelry fragment finds, as well as a beautiful butterfly hair barrette fragment, and a pretty nice 1830 large cent. John dug these over the weekend. I'd love to be able to date the butterfly barrette, but I can't find any legitimate antique...

My brother picked this coin at our job's parking lot and as he was about to toss it, I said WAIT! I looked at it and I said to him this might be a silver reales, he looked at it and didn't cared for it so he gave it to me. The real question is: what can it be? I know it's unidentifiable but...

Hi everyone, We found these items today. The dark coin looks very old, and we have a good silhouette showing...but letters are very faded. Dug him up from under a tree root on the 1683 property. Would love to hear if this guy looks familiar to anyone. 8-) Also found a Spanish real, about...

So I collected this rock from the side of a glacial river that comes from 3 lakes in the lesser himalayas in Pakistan,Kunhar river, Naran district in Pakistan, i'd be very thankful to you to guys if you could help me identify it, :)

https://youtu.be/IM1VVw_n1-c I wanna say some of the clips were lost i was using a new memory card and it was a junky one and i lost almost half of the clips but it was a great hunt!!!

I recovered this cut Spanish silver coin in Raleigh, North Carolina. My oldest coin to date!

Had an absolutely incredible hunt yesterday. Received a new permission on a 1937 home in the beach home area on Lake Michigan. Supposedly some Al Capone history on the house, but I have verified that is not the case. Had my first hunt on Friday and was pulling tons of wheaties out of the...

I was dribbling my soccer ball around the block and when I got to the train tracks my eyes stumbled upon this piece. I don't know if the piece that is sticking out is silver or not. It is pretty shiny in the picture. Can you help me identifying it??

Hello TNet, I am a new member to the forum. I have been reading the forum for the past few months but I haven't found anything notable to post up. That all changed today. I had a little free time to get out with the new AT Pro today to learn the machine a little bit more. I used the machine for...

Went to a secluded area with trails and a soccer field to hike and decided to go for a short hunt afterwards. It was extremely hot and humid so I told myself 20 minutes and that's it. I was not expecting to find much as the area looked newer. First plug was an old pull tab. I thought oh.. maybe...

I found this silver ring a few weeks back, I could tell it was old and suspected it may be Native American. I contacted the local Museum of Native American History and in no time at all they confirmed it to be early 20th century Navajo silver. Unfortunately the makers mark is worn off (if it...

I found a 1942 George quarter on Tuesday evening which I thought was awesome, then yesterday I had about an hour to kill in a field that I've been wanting to try out and up comes this beauty. My first seated liberty and oldest dug coin so far.

I was taking the hoe to my little garden and found what appears to be Galena I think. It's a bit shinier and lighter weight than specimens I have handled before. Could that be to more silver content? The largest piece weighs 6.6oz the next smallest 1.6oz and the smallest .5oz. The shotgun shell...

Its a 1894 Canadian 10 cent piece. This also happens to be my oldest Canadian coin to date as well. SUPER HAPPY! :icon_thumright:

1901 Barber Quarter Found Detecting an Old 1800's Homestead in PA Yesterday me and my buddy got permission to detect this homestead that's late 1800's. So we started this site yesterday for about 3-4 hours and ended up being a good day! I found a 1901 Barber Quarter and my friend found a 1903...

Northeastern PA Treasure Hunting on 1800's Farmstead/Homestead Yeah we worked this land for about 3-4 hours yesterday. Just got the permission to hunt it. It's totally untouched or never metal detected before. We're gonna be hitting it again today and see what else we can find. It was a...

Hi all. A newbie here. Great site, lots of great info. I pulled my old SRII out of mothballs and have been getting into swinging it around old abandoned parks and older home sites. (I originally bought it for freshwater beaches.) It seems to do alright but I can't help thinking that some of...

Today I fount this Vintage hand-made sterling silver hand-stamped Native American concho belt. It has a attractive hammered silver design with 15 distinctly different conchos. There is a copper attachment loop and a leather backing under the conchos. I'm not sure what to make of it. I did...

Loads of clad, second and third silver coins, first couple of bottles, and "i'm in". Went out yesterday and finally got around to cleaning my finds. Had a hayday in the clad deptartment. Found over 10$ in clad and a 1953 washington, a 1962 rosie, and three wheat pennies. Also found a 1949...

I got lucky in a farm field the other day. No, not THAT kind of luck!... I found my very first Seated Liberty coin and boy does she look pretty! An 1839 Quarter! It was only four inches down too, an easy catch for just about any detector (I was using a borrowed Etrac). Thanks for looking ~...

S'more Goodies Who doesn't like to find gold, silver, and cool relics all in the same day? I have a unique fast paced style and don't spend too much time on any one place. Today 3 places yielded a gold graduation tassel from '72, my first silver half dollar, and this heart bridle rosette. I...

I decided to go out last night after work. I hit a park that has been yielding me a lot of silver for no apparent reason. About three minutes in (no exaggeration), I dig my first hole. I was slightly hesitant, as the signal was not as solid as I normally like. Anyway, I cut the plug and about...

If I want to get rare and/or old coins from a bank what kinds of coins should I ask them for if I have 15 dollars? Should I ask for 15 dollars in quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies? Or just one type of coin? What kind of coin or combination of coins should I ask for with me having a fairly...

I found this little gem about 7" down in a field where I only find WWI-WWII items it's got a sterlin stamp on the back flint lock design over an 8shaped platform with what looks like black enamel

Yesterday was my first day using a detector and I can say I'm addicted.
