Mine was a 1916 Barber dime. Was CW relic hunting in a place that we had all but cleaned out. I was digging every single I got because of where we were and how clean the ground was. It was a weak iron signal that said deep. Turned out to be a nail and the Barber at about 7 inches. Hard to say what we leave behind.

Found an 1886 Morgan Silver dollar in a lake. It was covered in corrosion, and I thought at first it was just junk. Probably one of my favorite individual finds so far.

Wow, and I thought I was doing good to find a clad dime with a scratchy signal

[pat-tekker-cat]

Water hunting, got a chirpy signal (bottle cap), with a slightly audible tweet, after the swing.....
Pulled up the beer cap and a ladies 10K sapphire and diamond waterfall ring.
(sorry I can't post pic, it's in the bank safe, atm)
oh pardon, is scratchy the same as chirpy?

1887 Liberty V Nickel. Found in the prairie on the way to an old mine. I always swing the detector from the time I get out of the pickup until I get back. My thinking is that man has set foot on every foot of ground and lost something along the way. At 71 Father Time is chasing me so I have to swing while I can.

Was swinging near some swings in a park, got a scratchy, probably junk tone, swept on a bit, thought it over and went back to retrieve it. Turned out to be a small, silver scotty dog charm from a charm bracelet.

I dug this Walker last month at a local school... 6 Ft. from the building... in the nail halo! It was about 6" down with all sorts of trash around it, but it made a little chirp on the Deus. This place has been hunted for years by everyone, and I was told that I would find nothing!

I've read many stories like that here on T-Net, about people finding something on the way to and from their car. Nice job!

Best scratchy turned out to be a 3rd century Silver Roman Ring. Was really surprised when it came up.

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

A couple more iffy finds I've made....those who've detected for awhile will tell you that thin chains and bracelets are tough targets...unless they're all together in a clump.

The chain and locket are 10k and gave off a scratchy signal luckily when I ran the coil over it several times I picked up the locket part which was more of a solid signal....the bracelet is the purest gold find I've made stamped 800 or 19.2k and Portugese made....both in the missus possession now.

My Best scratchy find was a 1940 walker. I found this target showing a good solid hit in the middle 80's using a V3i but when I went to pinpoint it there was nothing there. Spent more time X crossing using discrimination and again pinpointing showed nothing. I moved out from the discrimination location and found two silver/copper locations pinpointing about a foot away 8" dp from where discrimination was showing the location. Then I dug a large plug about 10" diameter and found nothing in the bottom of it. I finally got a hit on the pinpointer on the side of the plug toward where discrimination was showing the target. I cleaved away about a 4" plug on the side, removed the plug and pinpoint a target about 7" down. I saw something sticking out of the hole that looked like the edge of a bottle cap on about a 45deg angle. When I plucked it out there it was I was so excited first thing I did was run to the truck and put the coin inside afraid I was going to loose it.
