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...

It's been ages since I'e posted a find...partly cause I haven't had a good find in a while and partly cause I'm lazy. :lol: Anyway, I got out on Monday and braved a bit of rain from Tropical Storm Nate that swept through. It wasn't too bad, just a constant drizzle. Just before calling it quits...

Hello, I have been relic hunting since I can remember and have always wanted a forum like this which would enable me to get second opinions on my finds, so thank you to everyone who got/keeps this going! I have attached an image of what appears to be a hand axe of sorts the material from which...

Found this at the beach during high tide. WTH is it? It has a cross and someone obviously wore it on a necklace / string. Weighs 26.8 grams, doesn't stick to a magnet and not sure how to clean it up if it can be cleaned. Out of the sand it registered at 73 on the AT Pro
