Started with a Minelab X-Terra 505 with stock coil or 18.75khz elliptical coil depending upon the site. Upgraded to Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances.

I detected very little of here when I first started detecting but had a not so great detector. I went back the last 2 days and found a lot of copper stuff and an 1890s turn of century dump pocket in the creek bank. Spent Saturday mostly excavating. Today I mostly detected up stream. Crude stoneware urn ⚱️ was in several pieces sadly but I've found almost all of them. Humpty dumpy urn will live again. It's a very China heavy pocket but the nice bubbly turn mold whiskey, the mini cork top bottles, fancy silver plated thing and the end of skeleton key came out of pocket as well.

Upstream was a lot of junk and tons of copper odds and ends. Many that sounded like coins. Clearly has not been detected. Photo shows only a few of the copper items. Rest still in finds bucket. The round gear may be off a scale. Dish I think is a soap dish.

Really like the clock face and the Hindu plaque that I'm assuming is sacred geometry. Anyone speak Hindi?

Neat plaque. It's a "yantra" of some kind, used for protection, in meditation or prayer and for worship... in homes, temples and when travelling. Similar, but not identical to this (modern) one:

Beat me to it Red-Coat :laughing7:
Got to like the "Get latest price" it's something like the "Morning Price" when I was buying out of the markets in India and Nepal.

I'm liking the little bottles, and brown turn mold as well.
The urn is very cool
The clock face is a very nice recovery. From all the clock works dug over the years I have only dug one or two face plates but nothing on them. (I assumed that they had a paper face) Your engraved one is a keeper for sure.

Thank you all. The gentleman I work with who is from India says this yantra is for protection while driving.
