metal dectecting

Quick hunt in the lake and had a few finds!

Hi All, hoping for some guidance or info as I am clueless! After inheriting a few items from my grandads passing - the titled being one of them, I am looking for some help or direction with this detector. A colleague of mine experienced in the field believes it to be around 1950 - 1960 and...

So im finally back at it in full force since I've had PT on my shoulder. (Tendinitis). I use the equinox 600 now. I'm also getting into snorkeling for treasure and rock hounding. Back to also digging old dumps and sifting them as well. Here's some of my finds from the recent week!

Went on a little exploration in the verde today to a spot I found some old rimfire shells years ago. Top 3 shells are early center fires bottom are all rimfire and the longer ones I’m not sure what the caliber is. The pocket watch back is engraved with DUPLEX but I can’t quite date it and...

Hi guys, any idea what this is? Found near a creek in Chapel Hill, NC via metal detector under about 6 inches of soil. It's 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. There was a small circular piece of wood in the round hole on the "bottom" of the object which leads me to believe this was attached to...

Hit a new spot today... I'd say it was a good choice. Finds include a 1895 indian head penny, blue cobalt medicine bottle made in Nashville and a few nice buckles!

hit up a spot behind a town hall Monday. Thought it might of been a dump at first, when i saw some broken surface glass But these are the only 2 things to come out of the small wooded area. please tell me i finally dug something from the 1700's ? i know its the smallest part of what i think it...

I had about an hour to kill after work Friday. So i tried to think of a place i could go that didn't require a long hike in the woods first. One of the first places that popped into my mind was this old house foundation right next to the road, in the town i grew up in. Local legend says there...

Did I find a kettle point? A few people on Facebook said a sickle mower blade, but I’m not sure I agree after looking at some photos. There aren’t any holes in it. It was in the hole with a few small scraps of the same metal. I live along a river that was heavily guarded during the War of...

I found this plate in a public park (WI) that's never been search and that I think was formerly a dump. I have found no old coins in this park, so it's been difficult to date, but have found lots of horse tack, harmonica reeds, and an amazing railroad lock that I believe dates to the late 1800s...

Hello folks! It's been a long while since I've posted. Been into thrifting vintage items to re-sell. Found this spoon....does anyone knkw if its silver or silver plated?! It says "Sterling" then AMC and another letter i cant see. On the bowl of the spoon it says Clear Lake which is a poplar...

I dug this today, on my property where I have found civil war bullets and buttons before. Anybody have any ideas on what it is?

HI! I recently found this knife, along with some old bottles, dampers, forks, shotgun shells, etc. The knife is really heavy for its size. I was able to polish up the metal blade easily with some steel wool. The handle is very solid. Cant tell if it is stone or some type of metal that has been...

Found bits of silver and one little 14k earring for $2 in total. Question: is this worth selling at a pon shop? I know it's really small amount but if I build it up should I sell there? No one will buy mismatch earrings...maybe some like the clasp could be sold to jewelry makers. What do you think?

I am desperately trying to get help to find my wedding band . Value is $750 . Accidentally pulled off and is currently sitting at the bottom of a river. 14' max depth, extremely slow to no current. i have a map with marking with the exact route i swam . also two scuba divers came out and combed...

Hey, all. I've perused a number of posts and have used this forum to answer a few questions that have arisen in my own searches, so thank you for that! I'm a hobby-lover, so my interests extend all over the place. Most recently, I've really gotten into metal-detecting this summer, some fossil...

Hey Everyone ! Brand new to the website and I’m totally stoked to be here! I’ve been metal detecting for only about 2 years now while being stationed out here in Guam. Just today I went to a favorite spot of mine at an old Spanish Fort called Fort Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, and I think I...

Im new to magnet fishing... any tips? I bought a magnet that can hold up to 400 pounds. What are some good places to hunt?

what kind of button do you call this? And what time period is it from? It’s probably an easy ID for someone. But this is only my second button I’ve ever dug. I’m sure during my incubation period I’ll have some pretty easy things to ID. But I promise I only need you guys to do it once. I have...

Oh my goodness!!! I found the hockey ring yesterday, and today I found ANOTHER about a foot away from the hockey ring!!! What kind of stone is it? What do you think it's safe worth? it okey to put it in hot water and baking soda to clean it up? I'm not sure if the baking soda will harm the...
