Coins in a park with map dowsing

This is one of my favorite pieces to date. It is a 1848 1 cent piece I received from my grandfathers estate there appears to have been a foreign object on it when it was struck. There is an obvious indentation on the face and on the obverse is an obvious bulge. Edit. It was pointed out to me...

Ancient coin

This may be difficult to believe, but my cofounder and I have found a way around the UNESCO accords and have built strong 'top down' relationships with multiple countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. We are creating a TV show about real life treasure hunting. We've been working on this...

Hello I recently found what I believe is an Atocha coin. But I believe it has the word copy on it strategically placed under the gold bit. I'm trying to see if I'm seeing things. Also if it's worth anything.

Has anyone succesfully added a volume control for the MXT E-Tracker's speaker? If so, how? Recently I've been enjoying the therapeutic simplicity of my older bfo and tr type machines for shallow targets in the parks carrying only a pinpointer and probe for recovery. Volume control is necessary...

So today, after extensive rains thawed the frozen ground here in New England, I thought I would bust out the Legend for a little night time adventure. I went to the same spot on my property where I recently dug a 1788 Mass Copper, and within 15 minutes, about 15 feet from where I found the Mass...

Well, winter is upon us here in New England. Yesterday was an unusually warm day for December, the ground unfrozen for a brief moment. I seized this opportunity to get perhaps my last day of detecting in this year. I am fortunate to live on what was an old farm in the early 1800s, so whenever I...

So i found this cellar hole while i was helping someone on here with this Need help interpreting LIDAR post. Karma actually working, hurray. I was showing what would definitely be a cellar hole. Using imagery of a known abandoned 1800's town site. When all of the sudden i noticed this other...

Went to a local freshwater beach/boat launch/hangout on this dreary day up here in Maine. Never detected it before, it just kind of popped into my head this afternoon. I figured there wouldn't be as many people there when the sun wasn't shining. I was right, just a couple fisherman. This place...

Didn't have much time today after work. So i decided to just drive to a few cellar holes i have marked in Gaia as potential sites. Just to see how i would access them or who i would have to ask for permission. I drove down a road that's 10 minutes away from where i live, that i have apparently...

This is a Spanish 8 Reale I found while mudlarking. It was minted in New Guatamala in 1808 and bears the bust of Charles IV.

Found this Spanish pillar dollar today in the ocean. (Edit: I initially thought it to be too light to be genuine, weighing in at only 16.5 grams, but as many T-net users have pointed out, being exposed to salt water for 200+ years corrodes silver, and I can confirm the coin is much thinner than...

these are some more finds from my 1800's abandoned town site. Where i have found civil war military relics the soldier brought home and so much more. I'm fairly certain #1 is a trigger guard, but from what? Rifle or pistol? could this be a military issue weapon someone brought home to go...

I have a bunch of half dollars. What should I be looking for? Years 1967, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1983, 1991, 1992, 1974, 1995, 1999 Please and thank you 😊

Any info on this quarter would be awesome. I just found it tonight just after dark. It was my first find with the Legend. I guess I'm looking if anyone can tell if it is wide or a narrow zero in the date. Also what's Up with The G. Last any thoughts on the grade. Looks rather nice to me.

Excavated from a NYC landfill on May 5th 2023.

Found these three coins in the return slot of my local grocery store's Coinstar. April 7th 2023.

Hey everyone, I found this coin in Western Europe. It is made out of copper and measures about 23mm in diameter (0.9 inches). Only one bit of detail is visible on one side of the coin. Here's a close-up of the only bit of detail. It's a long shot but I know there's an ID somewhere out...

Hello, I recently found this coin in a drawer not metal detenting. It is a 2007 Jefferson Nickel, with what appears to be a copper planchette (coin blank) attached to it. I ran it under the Equinox 600 and it chimed in at 12-13 vdi, which is Jefferson Nickel territory on the Minelab. I saw a...

1963 silver Washington Quarter from the ocean. Found January 2nd 2023.

Hello, I found this coin in Western Europe. It is around 32mm (1.26in) in diameter and is made of bronze or copper. I have looked through coins from all over the European continent and can't seem to find a match. It probably dates to the mid-late 1800s if I had to guess based on other finds in...

Experts please help me. I would like your advice on this coin.

Hi all. This is an out of the ordinary post. I was looking at previous TreasureNet posts about Chinese Qian Long coins 乾隆通宝 found in North America. Their value might not be high in a monetary sense... but historically there is a story to be told. Let me give you an important historic example...

Found on the beach with historical significance in the sand by the water line where the seaweed washes up. There is some coral or sand build up on it. While using a toothbrush i was able to reveal a silver color on both front and back. The designs here look similiar to what would be found on a...

Found this on an old beach in the northeast not sure what it is

My wife found this while snorkeling. We can't quite make out the coin, and I realize these pictures don't help much, but truthfully there isn't much more to see. What i'm wondering is, how long does it take for this to happen to a coin? It's probably copper or iron for it to turn itself...

Is this an error on this Quarter or is this just normal? The 9 is short and is laying on the rim as well as the other numbers in the year 1982. The "I" (In God We Trust) also touches the rim of the quarter. I have another photo from eBay attached as well for an example (pictured without the...

Hi, tell me what kind of coin is this?

Hi, tell me what kind of coin is this?

Not quite sure if this is a token or what it is. I believe my grandfather brought it back after serving in the navy during WW2. Has what appears to be a Great Britain ship on one side and a Hei Tiki on the other.

Found this just off the old Main Street at my abandoned town site where there was a community from 1800-1940. . I know people find these all the time but I was pretty excited. I see they come in a bold N and shallow N varieties. Can someone chime and tell me which mine is. I looked up pics of...

I found this today metal detecting and it was only about 6 inches underground. It is iron and magnetic. It appears to be hexagon shaped. I have it soaking in CLR to remove the rust. Is that a triangle in the middle? Anyway, I'm wondering if it looks like a coin or if it is just junk.

Found A WWII 1943 Nickel While Coin Roll Hunting!!!!

Dug this up the other day at an old home site near saltwater where I previously found 1700s coins. It?s non magnetic and it has weight to it. Might be silver and it?s about the size of a quarter. What do you think?

Looks Blurry doesnt it?? Its not.... :laughing7: 1981 (P) Lincoln Cent MACHINE DOUBLING...cant see seperation lines very well

I found this at a church rummage sale. Along with gold chain. The 18kt gold backing the ,, medallion is attached two is in fact 18kt gold. When tested by machine it showed between 14kt and 18kt gold. Im hoping for more info on the medallion. Thank you ahead of time for your help

Any idea where these could be from, if so what year? Any help is appreciated!

I am a dumpster diver, riverbed scavenger, and occasionally I also borrow a friend's metal detector. I LOVE finding old books, eclectic materials for repurposing/upcycling and/or bartering, and random shiny things that distract me :-) I was researching a coin my fiance found in my...
