Favorite more common targets

Torptorp · May 6, 2018

Just curious about which are some of your favorite targets to pull out of the ground? Which get your heart pounding or for what ever reason you get satisfaction from finding. For me Indian head pennies are some of my favorite, along with silver dimes. Something about shiny in the hole...

Chunky silver ring every time!
Barber quarter, I’ve only dug a few.
100+ y.o silver thimbles in nice shape.
Crotals! Never get tired of them.

Small toy cars, trucks, airplanes, etc. Especially the older ones. Toys are fun!

Here is my very first dug target for 2018:
I call this little one "off to the races"

Of course there are the obvious things like silver and old coins; but I also enjoy finding license plate tax tags.

For me, it’s anything older than me that has lettering on it that can be researched to unearth interesting tidbits of history. Doesn’t matter to me if it’s a token, product or registration tag, button, key, etc - if it’s got lettering on it, I can usually learn something about the object to start putting an interesting story behind the find. I can’t necessarily do that with coins...don’t get me wrong, I love finding old coins, but other marked relics have even more historical interest to me :grin:

Foreign coins, keys, I still get a kick out of wheat pennies.

Ditto Airmet. Love finds that tell a story.

I'm the same way, a coin is a coin unless it's a key date (not found one of them yet) Don't get me wrong, I love finding old coins but a quick search online or in the Redbook tells me all I need to know about it. Tokens, tootsie toys, lead soldiers, buttons, old data plates etc are far more interesting to find. Takes some time research to look up and identify and get to learn the history of the items and companies which made them. The knowledge you gain from doing that is worth far more to me than a silver dime that may be worth $2.

Quarters with the eagle on reverse if hunting modern sites. And happy to find horse shoes and bridal bits at the old homesteads. $1 coins always make me smile....

Anything actually, I'm still new at this so every beep is the beginning of a story to be told of what might be coming out of the ground, being the almighty pull tab or the rare gold silver ring..

bubbaron · May 6, 2018

Earlier coins and rings

HappyOgre · May 6, 2018

With me, I get happy with repeatable signals.

kingman mikey · May 6, 2018

My favorite thing to find are dog tax tags, I always wonder what kind of dog lost that tag. Just interesting to me as I am a dog lover, woof.

cruiserkev · May 6, 2018

Keys are my favorite. Especially skeleton keys. Just a few of what I've found. :grin:

Oldsjunkie · May 6, 2018

I'm a toy guy as well. Been collecting US coinage since I was young and love every one, but Tootsie toys, little sheriff badges and cap guns are way fun!

It's like I was meant to buy my house or something. I've pulled 36 cars so far including 4 Tootsies since I moved in November and still have a fair bit of the back yard just wandered across so far.

Those Eagleback clad quarters have become a bigger deal to me also .

Gold rings are awesome, but I also like finding large silver coins!
