I've probably cleared 150 rings already this year, and I've been hunting less than ever. I've found that I've been able to use the Garrett AT Max to really hone in on penny signals that "aren't" pennies. The difference in sound is subtle, but has really improved my find rate digging up rings...

Howdy to all... I've just recently gotten a new permission, and in 3 hunts it's given me 4 Flat Buttons, that I'd like to learn what years they were produced. I'm also curious as to what other item are found in areas where Flat Buttons are found? I recovered these in Forrest County...

My first ever gold. I've been detecting for about a year, I've found 11 rings, my 11th being this beautiful 14k white gold Frederick Goldman rounded step edge ring. The rush was like nothing else. I feel like an actual treasure hunter.

Went back to a beach that has previously given my dad and I 2 other gold rings and was able to snag 3 wheats, a dateless buff, toasted war nickel, Belgian 50 centimes, 1946 Rosie and a massive 14k gold ring.

Scored gold two weeks in a row park hunting. - 14K both, Locket has confirmed diamonds.

Hello everyone, My name is Jason and have swung different detectors since the mid 90's. All gold machines until just this year. Love the coins but just had hernia surgery here in San Diego and gettin heart ablation done in a week. So chomping at the bit to head somewhere cooler than the SoCal...

I need someone who is proficient with LRL devices or abilities. Even individuals who can see photographs and tell me where the silver coins are located. Just get me within 20 - 50 yards and I will be happy. I will do the rest with my CTX3030. We will spit all my finds. Need to find better...

Hey all, So I am finally picking up a Fisher F75 this Wednesday and will start gold (and meteorite) prospecting on BLM land here in Arizona. I have watched a bunch of videos and read a series of articles but I am wondering if anyone has experience with what they found was the best setting of...

This treasure was hidden by mother nature. Back in the late 1980's I had the good fortune and pleasure to work with Larry Otwell. Larry was a retired geologist for the state of Georgia. I read several of his books and called him on the phone with some questions. He invited me up to his home in...

Hi Everyone! New to detecting and looking for friends and places to go for gold in southern california. I live in the Sylmar area. Im using a hand-me-down Whites Goldmaster 2. A bit tricky to use, but I think I have it (mostly) down. Just went to the mountains behind my house today, and found...

Hello there, I’m new to the community and the metal detecting world. I have always loved history and just recently decided to actually start doing it. I have some family in Mexico and in the nearby beach these have been washing up. They ended up finding 10(just laying around). I decided to...

Hi! Been a while since I've posted here, I've learned quite a lot about detecting in the last couple years and have had many amazing finds. So this last week we had a big storm hit the coast, and I had a great day detecting and found a few rings. This one stood out the most to me. I found an...

Was wondering if anyone had any tips on hunting an old dirt floor barn...also which corner of the foundation they might have put coins or valuables for good luck when building the barn? Thanks will post any finds here...the barn was built in 1884.

This is meant to be related to only finding gold in the dirt since digging and replacing plugs is more time consuming than scooping sand :lol: Recently I had been reading threads on the forum related to finding gold in the dirt, and the recurring theme seems to be you have to be willing to dig...

What a Sunday! 5 hours on the old farm with the Nox. Crazy finds today. - old gold plated ornate Item? - civil war button - 18?? Indian head cent- need to clean more but great detail! - Old belt buckle - Buttons galore

I had a great hunt at the farm today, that I’ll post about in a general finds thread but I could use some help identifying these two items. - One appears to be a gold-plated ornament of some kind. It’s quite large and heavy - One may be a civil war button of some kind- it appears to feature 3...

Due to the beach closures in April and May, I decided to post my finds for all 3 months in Q2 in a single post. As you can see by my clad count, those two months were dismal. I rebounded with the clad count in June, but not quite at the pace of January-March. Misc. finds: I did, by a...

Greetings all! I've spent a decent amount of time searching this forum, and have decided it's time to ask some questions to y'all who have been in the detecting game a while :) My neighbor recently learned that there was a guy who used to live at my house who made quite a bit of money...
