Hey everyone,
Earlier this year I purchased a 1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar for only $11. I purchased it as scrap not realizing its true value until I got home! The seller had a bunch of silver out, most of it silverplate but some sterling cutlery and coins. I gave him my best offer for the...
Hey everyone,
I think its about time I do a decent giveaway contest.
I am giving away 10 silver coins from around the world. I will ship these coins worldwide!!
I think its some kind of polybasite or silver minerals or lead. It is very heavy this one rock weighs 20 lbs. I'm a novice in geology. Please help me identify this. If anyone has a tip please any information is so helpful.
I found my first silver plated spoon yesterday! On the back it said Continental 1886 Silver Plate. Is 1886 the year that the company was founded?
Sorry I didn't post a picture. I will later. :thumbsup:
Today I found my first old coin. It is extremely worn out, you can barely make out the feature of queen Victoria, can't make out the exact date but anywhere from 1837-1901 as I did my research on the net.
Went out to the park for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Was just finding mostly junk (old shotgun shells, nails, cast iron). Only had a few minutes before I had to leave and got a GREAT signal under a large chunk of concrete. Underneath I found the quarter (1917 Type 2) with the dime...
I was wondering if old houses in the country turn out much silver and good finds or if i should stick to old homes in town i got a permission from a family friend the house is at least over a 143 years old because i found the house on a 1874 map but the house is all by itself in the country with...

Just picked up these two unidentified beauties from a English detectorist.
Both about the size of an English silver penny. (20mm)
The first looks to be a crusader. coin (with the bust and cross.)
The second looks to be British. (with the shield and cross with three dots in each corner.)
Any...
Hey guys. So I posted some pictures of the relics and coins on found on a new field on Todays Finds and it became my most liked and commented post so far. I happened to bring my camera that day and I filmed the good finds as soon as they came out of the ground. So here's the video. You may find...
I've been hitting older locations with hopes of picking up some deeper/old coins, but the deepest I'm hitting is about 5in max. I did air tests supertuned and I'm getting 7 inches on a quarter in disc and 12 in AM. Considering the sites are mildly trashy, I feel AM might not be the easiest...
A couple of weeks ago I started a thread about possibly taking a detecting road trip and tried to get other TNET members involved. Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, treasure hunters being treasure hunters, not many ideas or invites were offered. That's ok though because it turned out to be...
If anybody has found a pine tree shilling, or an oak tree shilling for that matter, could you please tell your story here and possibly post a picture? Thanks so much!

My family and I recently visited the Portland Science Center to view National Geographic's exhibition of the Whydah (I see that I misspelled the ship's name in the thread title). It is an extremely interesting exhibition, and contains some amazing historical artifacts. Here are pictures of...
I know I don't post every time I go hunting or every time I find something interesting but I figured I'd post a little report on some of my recent milestones.
My 7th sterling silver fork
A nice 925 ring as my 50th dug ring.
I found an 1882 Indian head cent to add to my collection.
(Not my...
Look what I found yesterday. I do not want to say where I found it [here in Michigan] until I know more about it. It makes the highest pitch sound and pegs the sensitivity meter [past 10] on my cheap VLF KellyCo. detector. I put ice on it and it started melting immediately [1 to 2 seconds]. The...

Returned for the 3rd or 4th time to a demolished house site in the woods in eastern KS, this time on my bicycle. When I got there, I discovered that my rear tire had ground a deep notch into my Tesoro Silver uMax's searchcoil. There is a glimpse of metal at the bottom of the notch. But the...
Hi all. I just did my first legitimate hunt of the year. I haven't been much lately. Anyway I found my first silver quarter. 1935.. I was hunting with my AT pro as I find myself using it more than the etrac. I just don't think the etrac is for me. I want to sell it and use the proceeds to get...

Hello! In a span of 15 minutes I dug up two silver relics: An 1905 Canadian 5 cent piece and an antique silver child's heart ring!! WhooHooo! What a day! :hello2: :metaldetector: :icon_thumleft: The ring appears to have a Yorkshire terrior hallmark?, the name "iris" and "AL"
My husband and I have been detecting for 5 years and this is the first time we've felt it worth posting.
These are our finds from today's curb scrape. We also hit a lakeside Park and the beach Friday evening. The beach yielded 2 junk rings for my husband and a little clad for the both of us. The...
I Found my first Silver Coin today a 1941 Silver Mercury Dime. I'm fairly new to Metal Detecting & Coin collecting can someone tell me the Value of this coin and is this considered in pretty good condition?
