Just completed a HUGE challenge. I cleaned out the local elementary school and pulled over 100+ Coins in 3 days!! I also managed to pull my oldest coin to date, a 1929 nickel. I also hit 3 1968 quarters however 2 of them were magnetic which means only 1 of them was .500. Overall a fantastic...

From a local park! I video footage will be up soon on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JunkSilverKid/videos

I metal detected my old high school felt good to be back haha. I found 15 coins mostly coppers but nevertheless some cool stuff! If you wanna see the video footage on my youtube channel and the junk as well check it out. Side note (I am extremely proud of the video) here's the link...

Well the short answer is yes lol. But I do metal detecting for the thrill of finding something and being outside! So many coppers. Here are my 2023 totals so far: 34.26$ CAD 1.26$ USD Youtube Link to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JunkSilverKid/videos

I found this heavy iron vase looking object in my yard in Virginia. It is fairly heavy and my detector is saying there are pennies inside. It is sealed all around and I can't break the inside where the hole enters. Thoughts?

New member and new metal detector! Looking to find old coins. I live in rockland maine area. Any location recommendations? Tysm!!!

When you are looking to purchase a coin metal detector, you might be amazed, or even frightened, at the number of options available to you. While every metal detector is different, the factors that make a great coin detector are all the same. One of the most important factors is detection...

Hi Everyone! I am a long time browser, but first time poster in the north eastern US. I've been metal detecting for about 2 years now, fulfilling a life long dream from when I was a child and would see people on the beach looking for "treasure." I have mainly metal detected my property which...

Ok, here is the official government line: “If we had not done so, we would have risked chronic coin shortages in the very near future.” President Lyndon Johnson commented before Congress just prior to his signing the Coinage Act of 1965, the law which fundamentally changed the composition of...

Can someone tell me the best way to clean encrypted pennies.

To clean or not to clean? that is the question. I am switching to sites that might increase finding coins. Many You Tubes and websites say don't clean your valuable coins. If a coin is crusted to the point of not being identifiable, it goes without saying that I have to clean it - but to what...

My goals are to find 100+ coins, $10+ in clad, 1 silver, & 3 wheaties. :grin: Not very high, but 2017 I found $15.75 and 1 wheatie, 2018 I found $10.40. So it would be nice to find some more wheaties and I'm hoping I find my first silver! :mder: Hopefully, I will do a lot better this year, with...

Hey Folks- Just a general tip here. I know, it's human nature, we are curious, we want to know the mystery, but for the Love of Pete, please STOP rubbing your finds! Oh my goodness, if I see one more guy on Youtube rubbing his silver, it's going to kill me. As a numismatist, this just...

Some progressive European countries (the people who brought us 2 world wars) are going cashless so goodbye to dropped coins. One guy posted that he thought that the metal detector technology would advance where we could detect a Rosie at 2 feet. Hmmm, digging two feet holes? I even see evidence...

Got permission yesterday on an 1883 little house. Went out there with high hopes of finding something old. Well, about 20 minutes into the hunt I got a non-reapeatable Zinc signal. I want to sure about digging it but I decided it couldn't hurt. I was expecting a piece of trash , but was...

I ran into a gum ball route man who used to work for brinks. I asked him if they sorted out silver coins at their facilities. He said no, they don't have time and don't let employees exchange clad for silver either. I wonder if Coinstar has the same policies. I would think that the machine does...

Earlier this week, I went through our yard some more. We have lots of junk from previous owners who rented the house. I have been able to practice in our yard and find items each time with no trouble. I started an album with some photos. So far the oldest item has been a 1919 Wheatie. The most...

The name’s Aaron and I live in El Dorado County, California, near Placerville, and am looking for anyone in the surrounding area. I have an MXT so I would be willing to do relics, coins, and gold. I am new to the hobby and just went to my first club meeting (Gold Country Treasure Seekers) last...

My foreign coins (non-dug), I'm posting this just to share pics of some interesting coins. Here are some foreign coins (non-dug), some are ones I brought back myself when I was in Naples and Genoa, Italy, and in Athens, Greece back in 1971 when I was in the Navy. The other foreign coins are...
