2025, Futuristic metal detecting find

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Made it out a couple times over the weekend. Once with MetalHeadz and one solo hunt, both city park woods.

While hiking and sweeping in the second park woods I eye-balled this in the leaf clutter. (No wallet, just loose)

Brought it home with my other finds and my 16 yr old son perked up when I showed him the card, first time in 3 years he has shown any interest in a find. He went to a couple of websites on his phone and said it has $5.02 on it. He does not carry any cash, just cards. In 100 years detectorists will only find plastic as all coins will be phased out...

Did find a couple older coins.


And a handful of wheats.


Dragon eye looking marble and brass adornment.


My land mine find was ID’d as a grandfather clock pendulum weight. Very heavy



And a nice green Bell was ID’d as modern.


Good luck out there!

Nice bunch of finds.

Ya its going to be a sad time when it all goes plastic.
I guess then we'll appreciate the pull tabs.

Awesome finds! I really love the IHP's and the clock pendulum. Nice job on the cleanup, too!

Well you can use that card for batteries for your pinpointer.
How many IHPs do you have FTY? I'm already at 15.

I thought about buying a Merc online with the card just for the heck of it. I haven’t found as many IHP’s as last year so far. I think I’m at 6 FTY.

I didn't start tracking coin totals until 2011. I found 15 IHPs that year and that was the most until this year. Of course I typically don't hunt sites from the IHP era, but the early sites are getting harder and harder to come by.

Great finds, nice IHP's.

Nice finds. I love Indian Head pennies. In the future, there probably won't be plastic either, as transactions will be done on devices, either external or internal - yikes. Any way, congrats!!
