metal detecting

Was very surprised to find my puss on cover of sept mag... :icon_thumright:

So, I mostly hunt for coins and jewelry. I have not been bitten by the relic bug. I have seen many videos about relic hunting and they just don't interest me. That being said, I may be ready to change my mind about relic hunting. On Sunday, I was hunting a local school looking for coins and...

Hello Fellow Treasure Hunters, My name is J.J. and I just got back into Metal Detecting and Artifact Hunting after taking a 10 year break (life and work got in the way). There are no clubs in Central Ohio so I'm looking for some friendly people to detect/artifact hunt with. Using a Garrett AT...

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) I’m also not a complete newb to earrings...

I live in a rural area, and running through my property is the old country road, now not used and almost grown over. But back in the 19th century, it was the way to get to town and was pretty busy. Is this a good place to metal detect and what kind of things could i expect to find here. Any help...

I got metal detector for my birthday. I am new to metal detecting. does anyone know if Saskatoon has any restrictions on metal detecting?

I just noticed this thread so I thought id share some finds. Found all these on Vancouver Island, BC within about 5 meters of eachother under a boulder!

I found this ~4.5 inch ~12 lb spherical chunk of iron in my dads woods near Athens GA. The property was a mule farm on the seaboard rail line around the time of the civil war and there were no battles / fighting in the area that I know of. It has an odd spherical hole that I drilled about 1/8"...

I dug this cross on Saturday and I'm wondering what this stamp means. My best guess is that the clasp or loop is 925 sterling but the cross itself may be silver plated? I thought it would be a simple Google search but it hasn't been. Thanks
