silver

I went metal detecting, and stepped on a yellow jacket's nest, and end up getting a sting to the leg. I then go to the Supermarket, and a woman was putting coins in the self checkout station. I noticed a silver edge in the quarter section. I told her I collect coins, and I'm wondering if I can...

1920's Sterling Silver Mirror and Chainmail Bag Another dump find, this time some 1920's stuff. Found this amongst household junk someone tossed. There were some other old things like combs and books but they were all broken and must have been outside in the elements for quite some time...

Heya Everyone; The ol' swimming hole did it again! Two days ago I found a 14k White and Yellow gold men's Wedding ring! It comes in at 5.5 grams and polished up oh so nicely. :) This is my first precious metal ring find, I have found others but not worth anything. Just a few feet away is...

Todays trash: The WWII US Army rifle proficiency badge, was my good find of today. Think this is a first silver military medal finding for me! Quite a thrill it was and unexpected in the ground. Got a 1946 silver dime also so it was a double good silver day ! Total finds for the day ...

Former mining village and father's yard Today I decided to hunt in an area where company houses from one of the Pennsylvania coal co mines use to stand. The houses were demolished in the 1940s I beleive. Today was just a test hunt and I ended up with a pocket knife and a small token or button...

Local park's field keeps on giving, silver pocket spill and an Indian head. Only was able to hunt for around a hour before people came to use the fields for soccer practice and I decided to just keep out of the way but I did find some goodies. This makes my first ever Merc's I found and...

Finally had the opportunity to go for a hunt a bit this evening. Lucky for me the section of park that I've been hunting lately because it seems to be overlooked by other detectorist was free of kids practicing baseball or soccer! I started abouts where I left off the last time and started...

Not sure what to expect from the site. It's really nice that a forum exists for collectors/ hunters. What's the rarest treasure that tops your list?

Hello all, Had one of the best hunts yet today, and a good one earlier in the week. Found my first gold of the year and alot of other nice finds. Check out the video of my hunt. As always, I appreciate you taking the time to watch/look/comment. HH! Travis

Not long ago I bought this lot for $18. I waited a week and here it is! 1942 D Merc 1938 D Merc 1961 Quarter Did I score getting this for $18? And what do you people estimate these are worth? Give me your opinions.

Hello All, Was able to get out a few times this week for some short hunts and did pretty well. I'd appreciate it if you checked out the video of my hunts. If you enjoy, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel. THanks for taking the time to Look. HH to all. Travis

Has anybody ever done any coinshooting at Salton Sea, California? If so, any luck on finding silver coins or other valuable coins? Salton Sea is now a relative ghost town(minus the occasional group of vagrants and squatters). This place did have a major flood years back which could have...

Another garbage dump has released its treasure to me, (bare in mind it took me several smelly hours of rummaging to amass all of this treasure into one place). Everything you see below was the result of painstaking sorting of garbage from over 15 bags of junk and filth. Was it worth it? Heck...

So I bought some Silver Eagles from a guy and now he wants to sell me a collection of .999 fine silver and bronze doubloons from the mid-60's to early 70's. I can't find any info on them online really not even what the weight of a silver doubloon is so I can't really calculate silver value. Any...

OLD Jewelry! Silver Bracelet found at Home that dates back to 1800's Definitely the oldest piece of Jewelry I ever found. Sterling Silver Bracelet Found with a Garrett Ace 350 metal detector. (Possibly Victorian?) Nice condition, It looks complete, bracelet is marked "sterling,"unsure of the...

New to helena!!! Obsessed!!' Hello, My name is jason, I'm new to helena. I came from Florida and used to hunt the beaches. I am obsessed with GOLD! I never used this site as I used a different one that was all about the beaches and 1715 fleet in vero beach Florida! I'm looking for someone to...

Found my first silver ring! quite exciting for me, I found it under a tree in a park that my brother had already checked with his AT pro. So lesson of the day dig up all targets, you never know what it might be! about the ring, it says "antiko 800" and is a hildesheimer rose I think the 800...

Hi, I found 2 BU franklins, a 1961 and a 1963. absolutely beautiful looking. The 1961 in particular is almost flawless, with what looks like full bell lines. I attached one pic that shows both, but the rest of the pics are all the 1961. I'm wondering what I should expect to get for this coin...

Amazed at how nice some of these come out of the ground. All I did was run some water over it. I had a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 for a couple years and worked my yard pretty good. I only found a 42 Mercury dime with the 202. I now have a Fisher F4 (1 week) and what a difference. Figuring out...

Hello, I'm Curt and relatively new to metal detecting. I've got a Fisher F2 and been out hunting 3 times with it. My problem is I've been finding all clad coins with it(my best coin is a 1928 wheat). I've been to some old city parks and hunted an old church property, but alas -- all clad...

Nothing too spectacular. Don't have any advanced machinery yet but funny that the spots I detected last year in the same areas didnt show a signal as when I would get down close to the lawn and just wand it. Almost done with the whole backyard and side lawn. Interested to see what the front part...

My first pickup ever... I ordered two boxes of halves and the teller tells me she also has two CWRs from today and do I want them too? Imagine my excitement when I see what she hands me! Opened them up and they were skunks. Ended up being disappointing, but I've still got the two boxes to...

Need help ID'ing and dating thimble Hi. I've been searching online, and can't seem to find a picture of a thimble that looks quite like this one. It might be silver, it has tarnish. (I gave it only a very light cleaning to remove grime). The irregular dimples and total lack of marking seems...

Not the biggest find ever, but it's my biggest find so far. 29.1 grams of 925 silver! Hallmarks are 925 Italy and QGI. (My camera can't get a good enough picture of the hallmarks to share) Found with my Ace 250.

Found these in a 20' by 30' area at the front of a yard. The back of the yard turned to fill after that area and these all came from the small area in the front. It was a good day!

Found this a couple of weeks ago. I found 2 barber halves last year but this is by far the best condition and I can read LIBERTY on the head ribbon/band. Made my day!Glad I got the Etrac last year!

Has been a tough year so far. I have about 8 weeks in since I started detecting this year. Anyway the only really exciting finds for me have been the 1908-O Barber half in F-VF condition and the 1899 Barber quarter which is the first 19th century silver I've found in many years. Anyway it is...

Not too much of a story here, but here goes. Went to a few garage sales today. Noticed a middle-aged couple selling a lot of vintage stuff; the stuff you'd see in maybe grandma's house. Saw the silverware laying in a plastic container and decided to check it out (Garage saling tip: Always check...

The silver spoon! Found on a property that dates back to 1801.Found it about 5 or 6 inches deep. Not sure if it's silver through and through or just plated?

After getting home Friday evening from Mexico, I was pumped and headed out for an early Saturday morning hunt. using my new 5x10 SEF Coil (which I LOVE!)I was getting good crisp deep signals all morning. my first find of the day was an awesome Sterling Silver Military SharpShooters Award Badge...

Just got my first metal detector. First day using it I found a silver ring in my back yard!! Didn't think It was silver until it polished right up! cheers!

Got my first detector about a week ago. First day I used it I ended up finding an old silver ring in my backyard. I didn't even think I was silver until it polished right up!

Went to a few garage sales a week ago. I immediately spotted a few silver-plated forks. Immediately my eye caught the others 5 pieces of silverware; They were marked sterling. 2 forks, a spoon, and two knives. I immediately bundled them together and walked around casually before asking "How...

I've got a couple of Navajo pieces here that I can't seem to identify. One is a sandcast piece with turquoise..Too small and not shaped for a bracelet. Can't be a buckle. Could it be for hair? The other is a silver piece with a notch in it. This one hallmarked with a fancy M. Both test sterling...

Hello All! It was just a beautiful day yesterday and I had a great time detecting. I finally won one over at the park closest to my house where silver has eluded me until now. Also hit up a new spot after some research the night before and it paid off! It was a great day, 60 degrees, alot of...

Not much but it's my first!! My ol' pal hooked me up at an old church...... Not "east coast old" but early 1900's. Since Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907 ...... It's old to us. Found my first silver ever and I am stoked!

I bought this a flea market awhile back and was wondering if it's connected to any important group or history, or are badges made of coins common?
