The Yocums settled on the James River in Stone County, Mo. in the 1830's. Ozark Folklore says the 4 Yocum Brothers made their own Silver Dollars from Silver mined by the Delaware Indians. I found this Half Dollar size of solid Silver on Yocum's land yesterday. I also found several 1830's flat...

Hello everyone!
Please, I have a question.
I'm in Israel and I'm going to take a plane in about 3 months. I have a lot of Israeli coins, something like 6kg. Nothing too old, something like 80 years old now. My question is, will I have trouble leaving Israel with these coins?
I have nothing of...

i was impressed as a visitor, so now am a member.The only treasures I have ever found are by accident--digging up old coins while gardening in old 18th century towns, at garage/yard sales, and early 20th century stamped post cards from my grandmother after her death.In the vicinity of the...

I was at the railway tracks with my new bounty hunter land ranger pro and searched where I found a 1930-40 baby carriage wheel at the tracks. I got a quarter signal. I pulled out this flat circle that I thought was trash in till I took a closer look. I saw faint words on it so I kept it and...
Hi everyone, I found this double die penny and would like to know what it may be worth. Overse and reverse double die, but much more noticeable on reverse, including Lincoln Memorial. Photos are microscope photos for better detail. Thank you.
Hey All!
I haven't found anything in a while but the last weekend I went on a road trip and I found a couple of interesting coins that I wanted to share.
I believe I found a British shilling from 1758 and a Dutch 1/4 Gulden from 1759. The funny thing was that I found these coins together, so I...
I found this years back when I was able to metal Detect . Found it in a play ground in the sand . I know it's not that old , but just wonder why they were even made . They are the same as a regular size far as looks on both sides but very tiny . Sorry about such poor pictures . :BangHead:
Haha! Got you!!! Happy birthday to me! I made this cake for my party. (Sorry that it's upside down) It a hole with dirt (cookie crumbs), a worm and a *gold* coin! I place a few candy rocks, a fake lady bug or two, stuck in a mini shovel and vwola... a metal detecting cake!
I got this coin book...
Back in my college days I worked in the library. Actually two libraries side by side at GA Tech. Nobody liked to work the night closing shift for some reason. My predecessor clued me into a little bonanza. All over both libraries were sofas with cushions. 4 floors in the under grad lib and 8...
Hello there. I live in Canada so was wondering if I had a bunch of u.s. dimes from roll hunting wether I could trade them in at a bank and earn a little since they are worth more than our dimes. Do they do this or should I go somewhere else? Right now a roll of u.s. dimes would be worth about 6...
Yesterday, I took my father-in-law out for some beach metal detecting. While he had been out with us to a beach before, he has never done the detecting and digging himself. Call it beginners luck, but he found more coins than I did.
It was also the first day on my new CORS Strike coil that I...
What do you think about this dime? It's weird... it's so shiny like tin foil it almost doesn't seem like it could be silver. That's why it's not clear... too much glare. Also why does it have a hole in it?! Right by the hole it looks like the shiny stuff is chipped... could it be siliver plated...
These are a few finds of mine over the past few weeks.
pommel of a WW2 knife i believe.
Very old buckle
hinge
napoleon coin (very rough condition)
Prussian button (front and back)
Old watch (date stamp either 1847 or 1947)
Old glass bottle and either decanter top or candlestick holder
1922...
Some progressive European countries (the people who brought us 2 world wars) are going cashless so goodbye to dropped coins. One guy posted that he thought that the metal detector technology would advance where we could detect a Rosie at 2 feet. Hmmm, digging two feet holes?
I even see evidence...
This is my first post on my findings in this amazing hobbie.
I have to say that in 1 complete month of pulling out just garbage,
at last I digged out a couple of coins. And it feels just GREAT!!!!
1. Coca Cola Bottle Cap
2. Pulltab
3. Melted Aluminium
4. 1 American Cent (imposible to get...
I'm reaching out to the Treasure.net experts for advise !
I have about 50 lbs of misc. Canadian Coins that are not fit for circulation. Dented, Twisted, Chipped and the like. The RCM (Royal Canadian Mint) does not accept mute coin for reclaim as does the US mint so over the years it has just...
Hi, how do I clean my silver? I know it can decrease it's value for coins but mine are only valuable because of the silver content, so it's ok to clean right???
So I found this 1965 canadian penny... but what is wrong with it?! And error?! It looks almost fine on the front... but on the back it say liberty and has a curved dent in it! Could it be that a u.s. penny got pressed into it??? HELP ME!!!!
Hi, can someone help me?
Is this toning? You can only see the colors ifor you tilt it towards light. The pennie is a nice red color. If this is natural toning (I found them with my detector) could you sell them? If you can sell these what price should I ask?
Hi, can anyone tell me if these coins are worth anything? I found them with my detector. For the nickel and quarter, the only way to see the colors is by tilting it so light shines on it. This is natural toning right? Will people buy these and if they will how much will they sell for? What about...
Hi everyone, I'm sifting through my mom's collection of coins and deciding what to keep and what to sell. I'm new to this world and am enjoying researching about coins, what makes certain ones valuable, where they are from, which ones look interesting to me, etc. I'm finding that the more I get...
I am posting this just as a way to look back at my progress, I spent 2.5 hours out at the local park yesterday, I really am just trying to put in the footwork and understand my machine better.
So I found my first $1.00 coin today (TreasureMaster)
