My husband found this spoon in West Harwich, Cape Cod, MA in the sand. It appears to say "silver plated" and "England" on the back. We wondered if it was anything of value? Does anyone know? Thanks!
Well, I have my metal detector from about 3 months, and never found anything good, just some pennys, and euros.
But.. last weekend i went to my grandma's house in Italy, that have a big backyard with some woods, and i brought the MD ofcourse :P.
After 5 or 6 minutes i found a really cool...
For those new to beach hunting this video may be of help. Anytime there is a new "cut" in the sand as shown in this video there is a good possibility of finding nice targets with a metal detector. It means that some sand has been washed away, often taking the lightweight trash with it and...
I'm selling a heavy (2lbs 10 oz), 1860's Wilcox Tea or Coffee Server. It is marked on the bottom identification marks: Wilcox , QUADRUPLE Silver Plate, Meriden Ct, 867, plus there is the crossed hammers logo. It is worn and scratched but still a beautiful Victorian piece-- elaborately...
This is a Roll Cracker.
"In less than one minute, a full bag (100 rolls) of any denomination of coin rolls is broken open and separated from its wrapper."
And upon a little research today, I decided to look on the N. F. Strong & Son website to learn more about them, and their role in the coin...
It is always nice making money on your lunch break!
Searched one box of halves, then walked a few blocks away to the dump bank where I found the three Washies, and about 20 dollars in clad in the reject tube. Not too shabby! Have a great weekend guys, and here's to a lot of silver in our pockets!
The weasel is out of hibernation! Here's Saturday's great box of halves!
Hey guys and gals, I am back from taking a long break from CRH. For the noobs, it is nice to meet you, I am Weaselbrott. It is good to see you all, I hope you are all doing well, and making great finds. I have still been...
Ok, I started coin roll hunting in February until late April early June when I started metal detecting and took a break in coin roll hunting. I will start coin roll hunting again when I can't detect.
Anyway, Here are my Favorite moments in coin roll hunting. (No, silver found :crybaby2:)
1859...
I went to an estate sale today but didn't find much.. I bought a wooden box for $5.. When I paid, I realized it was 25% off so I received $1.25 back from my $5 bill.. When the woman put the quarter in my hand I immediately noticed that it was one of the shiniest coins I've ever seen.. Once...
I was detecting in the same woods that produced a colonial flat button, and found a necklace with a style that I have never seen. On Google I could not find a single necklace with that style. Right now I really want to know about the necklace. The main part of the necklace is fairly heavy and...
Got to detect an old house in a neighborhood that I've been hunting. Got 37th silver, a 1946 Washington and 19 wheats! Surprised there were no dimes! That's my 6th silver quarter this year. Also found some toy guns an old compact and other misc. stuff.
I NEED Leavenworth KS Treasure Hunter for a FREE SILVER GIVEAWAY!
There is a free silver giveaway that I became apart of recently where I had to find the coordinates to a location where 5 oz of silver was buried. I have figured out the clues and it is Leavenworth KS. I am willing to split the...
Hit two yards today the first I found the pieces of the dog tax tag in the shape of Indiana. Haven't found much the last few and I was determined to find SOMETHING decent. Went to another part of town and asked a girl who was sitting on a porch if I could hunt her yard which got me a 1919-S...

Detected for a full day which involved digging through lots of gravel.
Most of the coppers were in awful condition-corrosion and oxidation.
Ended the day with a walker.

Hello All
Here is yarn that has been tossed about over many a drinking session. Not just in my den of iniquity but through hundreds of story tellers across the Andes. In my time working for a mining company we worked with various labourers in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chilli. Shamefully...
Firstly, I'm new to the forum but have been seriously metal detecting for about a year. I have made some great finds over the last year including an 1841 Dutch half cent and lots of silver from rings to coins. I hunt Saint Louis and Saint Charles Missouri mostly.
So, today I'm on a hunt in a...
found this brooch and can't find any information on it. It is marked sterling, but I wanted to see if anybody had an idea of the date of the style. the crystals seem to be rhinestone or glass but I am not sure. pin clasp is missing but other than that it is in really nice condition. should...
[THIS THREAD HAS BEEN SOLVED]
Hello TreasureNet community,
I've recently posted this same query to another forum and this was one of the places to which I was referred that might yield better results in my identification of this piece that I came across in an old collection of mine. I will...
I have an 1880 S Morgan silver dollar that was badly burned in a unknown fire (i obtained it already burnt from my grandmother). what would the price for this be? nothing?
Whats up guys? Just thought I would post something in here since I have not done a post in quite some time.
Picking full time has been much better than expected, not to mention, I don't have to work for anyone. :hello2:
These are some my silver and gold finds for the past few weeks. I...
21st silver coin today: 1953-S Roosevelt. Also 1946 Dog Tax Tag, heavily encrusted Indian cent 190?, 2 wheats and a thimble. Really quick hunt today. I think I am easily going to break my goal of 25 silvers for 2013 set a week ago, as I have found about 7 since then.

Trudged on through the rain with the Etrac and found my 19th and 20th silver for 2013. 39-S and 45 Mercury dime, 1901 Indian cent, 1910 Wheat (+6 more wheats) silver ring, gold filled antique ring, Crystal...
Trudged on through the rain with the Etrac and found my 19th and 20th silver for 2013. 39-S and 45 Mercury dime, 1901 Indian cent, 1910 Wheat (+6 more wheats) silver ring, gold filled antique ring, Crystal White laundry soap good for token/check and old button. Pretty good hunt. Previously on...
16th & 17th silver coins for 2013: 1953-D quarter, 1917 Mercury dime
(pretty decent grade for this 96 year old coin as well) Also 6 wheats: 1916-D, 1918, 1919-S and some newer ones from the 40's. Also a Taylor Bakelite Girl Scouts compass from the late 30's-early 40's (non-functional). Another...
Here finally are some closeups of the 9 gram silver ring I found. It's so big it's loose on my middle finger.
Biggest silver ring I've found. Thanks Etrac!
15th silver coin for 2013: 1908-D Barber quarter. Also an 1884 Indian cent and a wheat cent. (22 actual silver items this year) My friend Jan and I hunted a yard I had permission for but it was a complete bust, not even a wheat cent. After he headed home I walked around the corner to an 1890's...
I started metal detecting in early March 2013 and have gotten one silver dime after a week of metal detecting, None since. I metal detect almost everyday for at least two hours. I just got a Fisher F2 as a upgrade to my Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 so hopefully my luck will change.
Good luck,
Teddy Roosevelt campaign fob, Huge Moose Lodge silver ring (9 grams) old melted marble and 5 wheats: 1913, 1920, 1939 & some 40's. I hunted for 2 hours finding only a couple wheats and then found the silver ring at about 7". I stood up swung my coil to the right about a foot and found the fob at...
I just got the Fisher F-2, and I was wondering what war nickels ring up as on it (VDI and item ID. I do not have any war nickels, but I do have pages of BU 90% silver coins :happy3: .
Thanks.
