silver

Today I found my first silver while metal detecting. I have been detecting in a park near where I live for the past few days and have only found pennies and a clad Texas quarter. But tonight, I found a 1946 Roosevelt dime. I do not own a pinpointer, so I had to use the pinpointing feature on my...

Jewelry 1800's Nickle Silver Engraving Circles and Curves I have no idea what I found. It is made of nickle or silver with engraved circles and curves. It is a piece bent and broken from the main part which makes its identification difficult. I found it in Southwest Kansas along the Santa Fe...

So I have found what I think is a pretty good bunch of Quartz with lots of minerals and ore in it. I am sending samples off to be analyzed, but it looks like everything from pyrite to copper, to silver and gold. I am in the process of crushing it, but am not sure what to do next. So far I have 5...

Finds (5-17-13) 14th silver coin for 2013: 1937 Mercury Dime (seems there is one in every yard!), 2 Indians (1905, 1907) and some Wheat's(1916,1926,1941). Also got reacquainted with the worst junk target, even worse than pull-tabs and screw-caps. The random sized aluminum siding leftover...

Served up on a Silver Platter I haven't posted in a while, but I thought finding this silver tea service for $50 was worthy of a my best finds post. 65 Troy ounces solid silver for a tidy 2600% profit. I'll take it!

i was detecting at an "old" church (old is 1920s in the Miami area), Saturday. I was working on a silver coin under a root. I could see the rim, but dimly, as I scratched away at the dirt with a twig I'd picked up. Someone stopped by to help, and if she wasn't a metal detectorist, she was an...

Same yard, more silver and Wheat cents. Went back today got another Mercury dime, this one from 1924. Silver Washington:1959-D (beautiful condition) Another, but larger aluminum play coin from "Grimsland" and 5 Wheat cents the oldest being 1910 and 1919. As is often the case when metal...

I recently made friends with a teller at one of my banks near my job. I asked him for halves, big dollars, and any old coins or bills one day. He delivered, and gave me a some big dollars, a few 90% halves and a few silver dimes and red notes (see the post here). I came back around recently and...

I have a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 Which can only get a consistent coin signal down to 6". In a month I have found $10 or more in clad, 7 wheats, 1 barber dime and a buffalo. The Barber dime, 1 wheat and the buffalo were in the same hole. A weird thing is I have found two surface wheats and one...

I think I may have cleaned out the local soccer field over the last two weeks. In past months I found 2 gold bands there and now over the last 2 weeks I've found 3 more pieces of gold and silver jewelry. Two rings and a pendent. The small ring is sterling 3.5g, the big ring is a sterling band...

I purchased my Bounty Hunter Lone Star last week and have been out hunting about 5 times. First off, what is something you wished you knew when starting out this awesome hobby? Also, any tips you would like to share with a newbie are much appreciated. For the most part i've been sticking to the...

NOTE: After taking photos of my 1915D wheat cent I lost it in my house, I know it will probably turn up sometime though. Just a day ago I found my first wheat penny, buffalo nickel, and barber dime (my fist silver coin), all in the same hole. The date of the wheat was 1915 D the date of the...

I found these while I was metal detecting in a creek where gold has been found, the area is also known for having a tin mine that produced some silver and gold. I bought an acid test, and got these results. I want to think that the acid turned brown, indicating 80% silver, but I have never done...

Well, I have found 16 40%ers in $4,000 in halves already this week! I'm super pumped. It was a good week last week and another good one this week too. All my finds came from MWR in delivered boxes. The best part was that I found MY SECOND SILVER BICENTENNIAL!!! It's absolutely bananas! I went...

Here's a video of the silver dollar I found the other day! Still cant get enough detecting time! Makes me want to skip work for a couple of days. Any of you ever have this problem? Check it out!

What's your perspective? A Realistic Look at MD'ing, with Silver and Wheat's No we don't always bring home the silver but LOOK as what we do get most of the time. Then we have those days of MD teasing, you know the thought, "the next dig and we got silver", yet it never shows :mad: Oh well...

Asked for "big dollar coins" and any "old coins and bills." The teller gave me these and knew they were silver! And got 16 dollars in big dollar coins, and one of them stood right out to me... 4 walking liberty half dollars, 2 bens, 8 merc dimes, and 2 FDRs bought at $5 face. Always ask, and...

What's your personal record? this box had 1 40% (68) gold plated ender, and so far including that roll, I'm 4 for 4, one silver coin in each roll. I picked them from random locations of the box too. and 1's a 64! the box that came with it had a Ben and a 66, and a few gold plated clads. 4...

Well on my very first outing with my GB2 I found these nuggets: They are extraordinarily dense, dull ashy in color, I can not scratch them with my finger nail, I couldn't even bend or scathe them with a pair of pliers. I don't know what they are but they appear to be Silver or some alloy of...

Went out saturday with a buddy of mine and his wife to hit up his grandmothers yard. She said the house was built in either the 1920's or 1930's. He said he went one time before for just a few minutes before dark and found a couple wheat pennies so we was hopeful and waiting for the nice weather...

Ben, Ken, Booker T! I've Got Two Walkers Chasing Me! Washington's Stuck inside TD! After finishing my first coin dump of the day, I noticed the coin counter was not spitting out any coins into the reject tube... Turns out, a "Penny Bag" was blocking the reject area, so I mentioned this to the...

With the recent rain, cold, wind, snow, and just about everything else on the list for Oklahoma weather, the stars aligned and I was able to get out and hunt. I gained permission at two homes that haven't been accessible in a long time. I grabbed the CTX, put on the Pivotheads(review coming) and...

I bought a bag of dimes to go through today. The manager was nice enough to pull it off of the machine early for me today before it was full ($857). In going through it I found three silver dimes. Two were Roosies (1960 + 1964), and the other was a Merc with the date so worn that it is difficult...

Well, it has only been one day, and I hit a major score today at one bank. I ended up searching 5 half dollar boxes, and went to banks for CWRs, and one of the banks I stop at every month or so on my route had 8.00 in halves. I heard all of them make a clean silver clink on the table, and saw...

Yes... yes it is a solid roll, and you probably aren't too happy to see me... take this solid roll of 64s out of circulation. I just nabbed these from the same bank that I hit my most recent jackpot. I got these right after work while I was still in the city, waiting for a friend to get out so...

Got out for a couple hours before dark and found these. It was fun pulling one out and rechecking only to find there was more in the hole : ) HH OMWP

This past weekend my wife and I spent the whole weekend at the beach, a well needed break. I did get to detect on the beach on two seperate occasions and came out 7 cents in clad pennies ahead. On the way home Sunday we stopped at a thrift store and looked around a bit. I found two unexpected...
