Been a while since I have metal detected, but usually on my vacations is when I do the most. Took the Tesoro Tiger Shark:metaldetector: out to Pope Beach in Lake Tahoe, CA. Pretty clean beach and I found my first 35% silver war nickel, a 1945-S, and a .925 silver ring. Other notable finds were...
I was out garage sailing and stopped in at a antique consignment store and purchased a large silver spoon for $7.00. The price tag on it read - "English Spoon". The back of spoon has a lion passant hallmark, however it's facing right. I did some research and found that the English silver lion...
I went to the bank today and asked if they had any halves. The teller told me that she had two. When she pulled them out I noticed that one was really shiny and I told her I would take both of them. It was a 2009 s proof. After looking at it when I got home it looks like it might have a die...

I was lucky to have come across these sterling items. Not sure what they are used for but they stack up inside each other. The guy running the sale didn't know what they were for but he told me there were sterling and only wanted a $1 for them all! I was surprised they were still there since I...
Today it was extremely humid outside and in spite of my head wrap cloth and trying the head shake on occasion to keep the sweat from my glasses still had to stop several times and towel off my eyes and glasses. They had mowed some area that I had been wanting to hunt so I went out and was...
While taking my dog on a walk about a month ago, I came across a pile of things with a big FREE sign above them. A worn canvas and leather shoulder bag caught my eye (I thought it would be perfect for bringing metal detecting) and I picked it up. Well, I just took it out today for the first time...
Went to Philly to get my marriage license with my fiancé. The main portion of her parents' home was built around 1719. I started metal detecting in November of last year and have learned on my Garrett AT Pro out here in California. I have never had a day like I had in Philly.
List below (with...
Hi All,
Hope everybody is having a wonderful memorial day weekend. Whether you're 'a Grilling, boating, hiking or whatever you like to do. I just hope you're out there doing it!
On a side note, here's a little silver video I made a couple weeks ago. I haven't been half hunting as much as I...
Would you kindly help me identify this? Is it a Cob? Found a "cache" very encrusted "coins" stuck to a rock. They were disguised. Local beach. Miami. Im happy as a lark, but try as I may I can't identify them:BangHead: they're all different; some very thick; some very large; some have an...
Hello. I recently found several "coins" encrusted on a large stone at the beach, but I haven't been able to identify them though I have tried. Please help. This is the first one.
Hi Everyone,
Went out Saturday evening and detected a section of woods and managed to dig a couple silvers for the time out.<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">
Found it under some rocks with my metal detector. It been there for quite some time. Not sure what kind of metal it is made from>(gold plated or actual gold or even brass, perhaps?) Also found a heart shape pearl colored? piece in the same hole. I have no idea how much this is worth..

Spent a weekend trying to find thawed ground for the first detecting trip of the year. Several locations on the route still had frozen ground at 3-5".

Hello from Arkansas. I am in Russellville Ar and am looking for a prospecting partner. I have a 4x4 and don't mind hitting the mountains:) Also, I hear that silver has been found in the natural state!!
Found 2 rings, a 10k ring and a 14k & silver ring (David Yurman) + $1.22 in clad coins!
Cleaned up plenty of trash in between the treasure Discoveries, a Great day all in all!
Hi all, I'm new on here but joined in light of a recent find(s) I've made. I live in British Columbia and found some unknown what appear to be metal nuggets of some sort. I was hoping someone on here could help potentially identify them as I have no idea! Please let me know what you think...
So I have been magnet fishing for 1,5 years now, and in the last part of 2014 I found some nice things!
One of the best things was a silver spoon with one part silver and one part stainless steel which was why it was magnetic :)
You can see the spoon here:

In 2014 I also found some...
came across this cleaning out my old jewelry box. no idea who gave it to me. it's in great shape. I am not a collector. Is anyone interested in it? First time ever posting to a forum. If I don't get back to you, be patient with me. Any thoughts to value of it? Thank you.
With my discriminate set at just below nickel I got a solid tone with a bit of a crackle. I flicked the trigger on my Tejon forward to enable the second discriminate set just under screw cap. She still gave a solid signal, but I could hear that bit of iron. I decided to dig. I pulled the plug...
I didn't post a few weeks ago when I dug my first silver coin, so this actually makes my second so far. There is a grassy lot right in town where I live where 2 houses used to stand. I had never hit that spot because I didn't know whose land it was. When I was informed the town owned it I was...

I recently purchased a few items from an estate sale and thought I would check to see if anyone recognized this Makers Mark. I never buy silver or plated silver but this item just kind of caught my eye. Anyhow, any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 3 troy oz (92.1 g) silver pendent/gorget with what appears to be William Penn on the front and an elephant on the reverse side. Their are also many other little symbols carved into the sides, top and bottom. The symbols look similar to those that were found on the Lenape Stone found in...
