Top Treasure Finds

Hi folks. This is my first US silver half dollar found for 9 seasons of digging and 6th silver half dollar in total with 5 Canadian ones. This is also a love token with the nice letter M engraved. It is the one from an old English alphabet. The pictures were taken after cleaning this find in ultrasonic cleaner. Cause the hinge didn't work before. Now it is ok after 90 sec of cleaning. Found it in Toronto area. The huge park had a virgine spot aproximatelly 30×30 meters where I pulled lots goodies out. This is the oldest silver coin I ever found as well. Very happy with this find folks...

Got a new permission today and I was able to make some nice finds. My first find was a silver thimble. I found thimbles before but this is my first silver thimble. My last find I made was a 1921 Morgan silver dollar. It's in very good condition & looks like it was dropped in 1921. Thanks for looking.

I've been off the scene for awhile & today we only had a 2 hour window, so we went just up the road in the hope of getting a hammered - Job Done!

2 Roman Coins

King John Short-Cross Penny - Abel of London.

All at one beach, just over 5 ounces of Sterling, Britannia, and Pure silver. Found with manticore. It's a killer beach machine. Deep beach, recovery 5, sensitivity 29, prospecting tone, multi freq. I actually would like to ID the one feather ring, I assume it's japanese 1000 pure silver before they replaced 1000 with 999. But I can't ID the maker or design. It looks like the Martha Jackson feather rings...

Been working a spot a co worker told me about. This was a surprise off main trail. Anyone know age? Update
Pewter spoon bowl, piece of blue and white china and suspender clip came out last night as well. Brass base to ??, silvered brass lid and watch winding key came out over the weekend. Pocket watch and one spoon week prior. Wax seal matrix and one spool bowl were found back in April. Like to show relic history of site.

Well, I finally did it. After over 53 years of metal detecting, I managed to detect and recover a gold coin! Not just any old gold coin, but, a real old gold coin. It's a Celtic quarter stater, initially identified as a Dubnovellaunus from 25 BC to 5 BC. I had to go to England to do it, but, that was half the fun! I also found all sorts of other items too, and I'll post some more photos when I get the time. Right now, I'm still on cloud 9.

Was super excited to find these in the middle of a Native American campsite (found artifacts ranging from 1600s - 1920s). These were tangled into some cedar trees and the soil acidity was just perfect to preserve them.

Regarding the location it is in Northern Michigan (along the inner shores of Lake Michigan). Early on it was a fur trading camp with many of the usual era finds. Then if became a fish camp with net...

3rd hit was a good one. 👍

What an epic hunt Saturday. We spent a good six hours hunting and this was the most epic unsuspected find. I knew I had a token in the field, but had no idea how rare it would be until I got home and started doing some research.

99 or less known to exist!! Amazing!!

Found this diamond ring for a friend of ours a few weeks ago. It was in about waist deep water. She was happy to get it back. Happy hunting everyone!
