Been doing a lot of net crawling with my Kindle and it is a hassle to organize and post pics on that thing but I am still getting out when I can so here are a few of the nicer things that have come out of the ground for me lately.

A ladies pendant watch from the 60's, I think.

A silver and gold pendant from next to a basketball court.
The wife scarfed it up as soon as she saw it.

My first Buff.
I have dug hundreds of nickels including a V, but strangely I never dug up a Buff before this.
Bonus...it has a nice readable date!

A beautiful silver ring with a gorgeous big stone that stupid me cracked when I tried to straighten it out on my mandrel and hammer.

A nice silver ring with chunks of turquoise embedded all around it.

My first tax token since moving to Kansas.
Tiny and wrecked, but 2 mil and still cool I think.

An old brass hose nozzle.
I have found plenty but this one looked pretty old.
Someone suggested I throw it in my tumbler so I did and it cleaned up nicely and even a name emerged.
That name enabled me to track down the company and learn some history I didn't know before...always a cool thing.
Found out it is old...turn of the century...last century.

My latest find from 2 days ago my first silver Harley ring.
Crushed and bent into a figure 8 shape but I straightened it out easily without wrecking this one and the wife commented how pretty it looked.
It is now missing but I bet if I looked in my wife's jewelry box I will find it.

Still reading about all your finds too so keep it up.

Very nice. Some great finds.

What part of the country are you in?
 

Olathe Kansas.
Pretty close the the exact center of the country.
Love it here...lots of history and evidently these people can't hold onto their jewelry very well, either.
 

Congrats on your first buffalo. Oddly I have never dug one either. Been detecting for almost 10 years, I have found plenty of Jeff's, V's, Shield nickels. I have even dug a shield with rays which is a rare one. Nice finds!
 

very nice finds, great rings as well, still looking for my first buff as well. I suffer from the same thing, the little woman tends to claim anything she deems nice and can wear... claims something about what is mine is hers and what is hers is hers... so I tend to lose things. oh well. congrats

So in a sense you could say that metal detecting is permanently on your "Honey do" list. :thumbsup:

Hey, as long as I keep bringing back shiny things she keeps letting me go out and hunt.
As a matter of fact, she actually tells me to go out hunting.
I am a lucky man, evidently.
 

My wife see's me grabbing the detector and I've got her saying it now-

"Going out looking my Christmas present?"

"No darling- your birthday is coming up..."
