metal detecting

I have a question. How do you guys display your finds? I'v been detecting for about six months now and I absolutely love it. I was always into being outdoors and I love history so much, I would do countless hours of research on the internet about certain history events, and topics, but anyways I...

Here's a short video of my second ever trip out with my Garrett Ace 250. I discriminated against a lot of iron signals so reduced my trash a lot and found my first coins along with some undamaged cork top bottles and a nice lead toy aeroplane. The video is clips of most of my finds with a...

I found a bottle dump with beer, whiskey bottles and an embossed asprin bottle. Seems to be from the 1950's. This is an area where I know from old maps a few homes where there in the 1920's. How far and in which direction would the old house be located? There is no indication of any foundation...

While I was out at my local auction house Friday, came across this Garrett, it's from around '93-'95. Couldn't find anyone with a definitive price on it. It had headphones, takes 8 AA batteries and had a screen weather guard. A few people were wanting it. I threw 110$ at it and won. Anyone know...

Well you know what they say about detecting and timing being important with the zinc cents in circulation you need to get them off the ground before they rot.

thanks to all the info on this site, I found my first beach hunt ring. She rang in around 56 on my Garrett ATpro about 4 inches down. Right at the line of wet sand and dry sand. Was about midnight, I was headlamp hunting. Great time. Sure was happy when I dusted her off.

So I took my 1 year old to the beach a few weeks back, and as I put down my equipment to rest he picks up my detector and starts combing the beach. I must say it was funny to watch him be like his daddy. He went back and forth evenly and made the beep beep beep noise the whole time. I'm...

The Good Luck charm was about eight inches down and on edge. The signal was very repeatable and had the E-Track totally pegged out on the conductive scale. It was an obvious signal but the search coil had to be swept slow and low or the response was not repeatable. The brass badge says...
