river

Had a chance to go the the Kalamazoo River and do some detecting!

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...

Oh my goodness.. very hot day in the uk today… so we decided it was time to brave the river!!! Digging finds is super tricky!! But we managed to get all our targets out.. some junk… but… 3 beauties… 2 pennies… a 1918 and a 1920 and a 1942 three pence Oh nd a nice bit of old pottery!!!

I spent yesterday playing in the river with my propointer and ATpro and found 5 bricked cell phones (one has an SD card we are going to return to the owner) a sterling ring, and this chonky gold ring. It's pretty crude which makes me think it may be from an amateur jeweler in South America. Its...

Hello everyone, I found a greyish-silver metal Nugget approximately 1.7cm in length and 0.7cm in width, while swimming through the Merced River in California (a bit cold). Before gently scrubbing with soapy water: It has a shiny silver to almost white streak on porcelain and from what...

May 30 - Back at the river again! Completely packed ever since the Covid lockdowns eased in the few past weeks. The temperature was perfect and I decided to give my 1200lb neodymium magnet a first try. After 2 hours of paddle boarding with my dad and brother down the Guadalupe, we come by a spot...

I've read that Native Americans used to "train" trees to grow in such a pattern that acts like a map of sorts. I came across two trees that look really out of place, and I'm wondering if there's anything to it. Not sure if it helps or matters, but both of these trees are located on a property...

Found these two rocks today! This first one is just a normale quartz rock but I thought the way to quartz looked was really neat. It reminds me of a black & white tree frond. And on the other side is a swirl pattern. But the coolest find was this one! It looks to have an extremely clear white...

This was our second trip to this location and we sure got on top of the relics. Once we started digging horseshoe after horseshoe, it wasn't long until we honed in on the good stuff. Hope you enjoy the video. It won't disappoint. And as promised in my last post, I'll attach images for those who...

Been out probing those river holes this year. I feel like my carrots paid itself off now! The 5 along the knives on the left are all marked 14k. Nice patina from sitting at the bottom of a hole full of hematite, nails, chain links, and such.

I've been wanting to get in this particular river since I first started metal detecting but the drive is rather long. I was finally able to find the time and we ended up having a great day on the water. I was proud of my little 4hp motor too. It got us back up river (2 miles) to the boat ramp...

Trying to help a friend find out about this item. It was found in a river in Florida. It is about one foot long and about 2 inches in circumference. It was originally one piece but was broken when getting out of the ground. Any ideas as to what this is would be greatly appreciated.

Today I went River hunting for the first time with another guy that had never been water hunting himself! Couple of rookies. But we found some thing and had a blast doing it. Here are a few of my keepers.

:zoom:Can anyone tell me if there is a good source or sources for information on old Water Mills? My primary interest is South Mississippi, and the more info/pics the better.

So a couple of years ago in England, I went to High Force which is a big waterfall and tourist attraction. It was a geographical trip so we had to observe rock formations etc, but whilst I was in the river, I found 2 purple-ish natural stones with a very nice shimmer to them. Since they were...

hi guys, it is pretty simple. i metal detect, river snipe, pan, sluice and lately decided to modify my JOBE folding sluice box and try gravity dredging. sluice modification: i doubled the size, added a self classifier, some rubber corrugated matting under it for the fine gold recovery, 6 extra...

I have this bottle and do not know the history but it is unlike any other bottle I have seen. It has a wavy-bumpy texture and wavy seems that ends at the base of lip and then 90 degrees it reapears on the lip further towards the top and mouth seems to be for a cork. Thick base and emerald green...

Hey there everyone! My name is Mark and I'm new to this forum community and I have taken a great interest in treasure hunting ever since I watched youtube videos of people finding rings, rare coins, and jewelry. I'm particularly interested in shallow water treasure hunting. I don't have any...

Hey folks, been awhile since ive been out and about and first thing i hit in a public park on the "back side of a museum" is this River God coin and it all seamed possible considering where i was. I about you no what my pants until i started thinking about what i hit on the meter and it wasn't...

I found what looks like it could have been an axe head or celt about a week ago near the Catawba River in North Carolina. I am pretty new to this and have no idea what I'm talking about lol. Any suggestions/advice? thanks, sosa961

I dug this hole out in a couple of hours with my buddy David, we got some nice gold. Secret location.

Just a quick question... When mining in a river, should I dig deeper in the river to get gold or should I stay on top of the surface and move around more?

I am scouting the white river near Indianapolis and I have a sluice box that can pick up some good gold but I am wondering if I will even find gold at all?

Anyone ever try panning on the White pRiver near Indianapolis. I've found a spot and it reminds me of Colorado. It's a fast current and contains ALOT of boulders and rocks. Anyone ever pan the river??

I have a homemade sluice box but where I prospect, there is a lot of flour gold and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to make a flour gold recoverer?

I was wondering if anyone has tried panning in the white river, Indiana. If you have, have you had success?

I've been considering MDing some railroads (when we get some rain to soften the ground) and creeks near my town. What is the law on detecting these areas? These pass through private property. Are people allowed to walk them? How much of the land on each side of the tracks/creek are considered...
