What 3 things (reasonable) would you put at the top of your “To Find” list?

[Blackfoot58]

I’m not talking the LDM, Holy Grail, etc.
I mean items you could realistically hope to find. Not just metal detecting, any treasure hunting method:

I’ll start it off with 3 of my “hope for items”:

1) An intact, Native American pipe
2) A Native American hatchet or axe head
3) A 1922 or older silver US dollar coin with readable date.

A pre-1900 silver coin
A gold coin
A flying eagle cent

 

[pepperj]

A Silver dollar
A piece of silver trade silver
A broken pontil bottle

Spanish Silver - Very rare to find in Indiana
Gold Coin
1700's coin - I've got low 1800's but nothing in the 1700's yet.

Pre 1900 should be doable. What area of Missouri are you located? I might have some leads for you.

 

[Chilli]

A double figure gold nugget
A Sydney mint Gold Sovereign
A Black Horse Whiskey bottle

Thanks. I'll take it to PM to avoid cluttering the thread too much.

" REASONABLE " is the key word here...

I can think of a few off the bat,

1. Mercury Dime (most common silver coin I've ever found)
2 Buffalo Nickel (can actually be reasonable hard to find)
3. Wheat Cents are relatively common but seem to be getting more scarse over the last few years
4. A gold Ring probably
5. A silver Ring

Was this a list of stuff you haven't found or a suggested list of items a newby could reasonably be expected to find ?

Personally I've found a lot of what has been listed, I have found 4 flying eagles, also bust coins, to early Spanish to Roman coins, but I wasn't thinking it was what we had found but what someone should reasonably expect to find...

Most people will never find a silver dollar, me included.. so to me that's not a reasonable expectation..

Did I read that wrong ?

Seated - any denomination
Reale - any denomination
Silver Trime

I want more civil war items, I have a small collection. I would like some revolutionary war as well. Oh and pre 1900s silver coins

 

[newnan man]

A 4" or larger Newnan point made of translucent Coral.
A perfect Henando point. I've found 18, all them damaged!
A large Megalodon tooth.

I was going by what he said...

Not talking Holy Grail (which to me is a gold coin or silver dollar)
But items you could realistically hope to find..

Which is a Mercury Dime or a Gold Ring...

I'm not sure many people on here realistically hope to find a flying eagle Cent or a Gold Coin or a Silver Dollar..
I've found Flying Eagle Cents in the US, and 2 Gold Coins in Spain, but none here.. and No Silver Dollars 🤣
