Hi TreasureNet folks, I'm trying to figure out the origins of this pick axe and crow bar we found while exploring an old trading route. The pick axe has markings... maybe a "forge mark?" Does anyone have any insights, or even pictures of other axes they know about that match this one? Would...

I recently bought a property in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. We got very lucky and managed to fix up an older home right on the water. So a year later i finally have time to adventure! I fired up the metal detector and headed to the beach at low tide. There's bedrock everywhere and the...

I have been digging through trash heaps and collecting bottles and old relics since I was 10 years old, I have always had the bug and decided to try metal detecting so I am very new. I am excited to get going but sad to say the weather here will not be cooperative as warmer weather is 5 months...

We found this tool in Saskatchewan, where there are a number of arrowheads and other Indigenous artefacts. This one has a clear incision all the way around, and if you look closely, you can see that there is another incision exactly at the point that the rock appears to have been...

Hey guys, Over April and May this year I spent 7 weeks on a large scale prospecting gig in the Yukon. We had a small team of 3 guys and some cool machines. Our main tool was a Nodwell mounted 12" auger drill. Check out the write up here, Yukon Placer Trip

Hello everybody! I just moved from Vancouver Island to the mainland of Vancouver and I am just dying to find some new grounds. Preferably creeks or anything.. I dont know anybody who hunts in Canada for indian artifacts let alone in British Columbia.. Thought id just give a shout out...

Finally bought some headphones and am learning to pinpoint with the detector and not rely on the depth gauge or the discrimination. This one was about 8 inches deep. I was swinging handfuls of dirt over the detector and this popped up in one of them but it is so small that I never saw it or felt...

Just found this site and joined. Newbie to the hobby and seeking what brand of unit to buy. Looked at Garret and Bounty Hunter. Making the debate vs usage & time.

Haven't posted in this forum for a while. So, I decided to take everything I found so far in the last two months, point out the finds that stand out of common and share with you, fellow hunters. This is the first time I found a silver commemorative dollar and silver halves for face value...
