finds

Found this today on a new permission which is now a Farm field but used to have a home that pre dated the civil war and was taken over by the union during the war. Rang up a 42-43 on the AT Pro…most of these signals were foil but this one was a small clasp of some kind. I’m thinking it’s...

Hello, Firstly, I would like to thank you for this forum as I am new here and have just spent many hours going through some of the amazing finds! :wow2: The items being found are just mind blowing, especially the wartime excavations. Although I don't metal detect at the moment, I love hunting...

I found someone selling these out of California for $14 on Offer Up. I think I may have to buy one and check it out! Looks like they have different colors from what I can see (tan, black, olive green, and camo). What do you guys and gals think...

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...

I don't look at the Stories and Picture Finds sub-forum much. Actually hardly ever because I quite jealous of all the goodies that everyone else but me seem to find. Yes I am happy for you guys, but it is a constant reminder of my lack of finds. Finally I have something to post. In between days...

I am new to hunting civil war relics but have been using metal detectors in one form or another since 1988. Mostly I hunt parks and old home sites and the beach 2-3 times per year. In a proven civil war battle area (not in any national parks but adjacent private or public property) how long do...

Finally got to get out in the yard with an improvement in the weather and do some searching. Up to today the only things I have found with minimal time is pull tabs,nails, cans and misc trash . After the first day I started to improve and found a bullet (modern copper cladded) but an improvement...

I am open to ideas where I might find a good electronic metal detecting journal where I can log my finds, their location, add a picture and add notes and other pertinent information. Anybody know of a good journal/database? I know that years ago Whites had developed one called I-find. I am...

Hey folks as I have mentioned I am just getting back into the hobby after a hiatus of 30-40 years. I recently joined a local club and recounted my story there but I thought I would post it here. Back in the 80s I was a meat dept. manager for Pathmark. In the woods behind the store I worked in...

It was nice yesterday and decided to skip a couple of hours of To-do list chores and get the MD out. Only the second time ever so far. I'm really liking this hobby and will definitely put some time into it. I thought I found a ring right away, but it's too small and looks to be copper or brass...

Got some pretty cool finds today and yesterday. 1. An old button. Origin Unknown. 2. Solid brass Buckle. Handcrafted? 3. Strange object. On the knob it says Benedict & Burningham. ??? 4. Old boy scout metal. 5. A token from the 1988 Tennessee Cotton Fair, found in Austin Texas.

I found this button at a local school yard near Rockville, MD. I thought it was a modern button. After cleaning it up, I think it might be older than I had originally thought. Any help with identifying it would be appreciated.

Was out in the garden fooling with settings for deeper targets, pushed the shovel into the ground and it gave way to a cavity filled with fluffy soil, something we dont have in this yard, just cracked hard clay, I thought it was interesting but ignored it, while fishing in the hole with my hand...

The horse shoe ring is 18k gold (plated) and the rest are junk but still pretty neat to me!!

Today I went detecting in a field in front of my house where a house used to be over a hundred years ago, I didn't get to stay out long but I managed to find some interesting things and I'll definitely be going back tomorrow! Finds: -Handle of a silver spoon -Eagle (found the broken wing about...

This morning in about a hour of detecting the grass beside a sidewalk I found: -1944 wheaty -a religious necklace charm (not sure what kind yet) -some clad coins -some type of button...I think? Lol it's brass and seem kinda heavy to be a button so if anyone has a clue please feel free to tell me...

I recently made a video of the finds I made in 2013, and thought I would share it with you guys (and girls). As long as you don't mind classical music, I think you'll be able to enjoy it! All finds are made in the areas around Aalesund (where I live), and Valldal. I haven't noticed many...

So I've gone detecting a couple times and I've already acquired quite a few coins. All but one are possibly worth more than face value. My question is, what do you guys do with all the coins you find? You clean em up and keep them? Or do you spend them? Any opinions are appreciated, thanks...

So i went digging with Metalwrkr from the forum today and we took out the AT PROS in the back yard and the second thing he digs was a nice class ring! i just thought, no way... it wasnt 30 seconds and 10 feet away and out popped a silver ring for me! it was pretty cool! i also dug an old 9th...

I have designed a night accessory for a metal detector. I will make you one at cost if anyone wants one. Just need some feedback guys... https://sites.google.com/site/digitup2000/home
