Within a couple of days of discovering this forum, my trusty AT Gold helped my rescue this beautiful ring from a fresh water lake. Someone else's bad luck, or disillusionment with what the ring stood for, turned into good luck for me and my wife. I did search via the internet for an owner, but I...
Took a new detectorist out to a local park to help him improve his game. We spanked out a ton of coins which boosted his confidence. Just after an hour at the park I struck gold with this sparkler.
Any help on the hallmark makers mark would be appreciated. Cheers!
Never thought I’d find the other half, I decided to call out on a Friday and go metal detecting in a spot I’d been many times before, the tide was dead low so I could get out to the drop off I hadn’t been able to in past hunts, after about an hour of pull tabs and zinc Pennie’s I pulled half a...

I posted before but found a pile of all different types of rocks buried in our dirt floor cellar. It appears that someone put them there. Any insight would be great. I took close ups of a few and then a bunch of them. Thank you. Happy New Year!
Two silver rings I dug up near an old homestead they and cleaned up nice. One with diamond like transparent stones, the other with black onyx or jet like stones set in silver.
Hi everyone, I was digging up my back yard and found quite a large rock (within a meter of digging) which looked a bit like a meteorite or some valuable rock like quartz. I'm really unsure, it doesn't have magnetic power but it has, what looks like 3 layers: a previous core, simple rock and then...

Today I...

I found this rock by this creek that isn't even a mile away from Lake Erie. It was cool looking with the Water Horse egg look. The rock was very heavy too. When I found it, the rock had a crack straight down in the middle. Since I'm not an expert and I don't collect rocks, I decided to crack it...

My grandfather left me some gems because he knows I have been an avid prospector and treasure hunter. He gave me 32 rubies and a bunch of other stones. There are some topaz, mystical topaz, a couple diamonds, a sapphire and a couple that I don't even know! I was wondering what they are worth...

Shortly after I started my hunt an older man with a dog walked up and said "Do any good with that?" I replied I do OK.
