Hi all, I've been out of the game for some time. I was pretty experienced and have a Tesoro Tejon...though it has some type of short. Also had a simple DeLeon. I loved my Tejon. I'm looking for a deep hunting machine that's relatively user friendly though im experienced and can ground balance...

Hi all, i found this piece behind an old barn which was a home in the 17th century. The top of it looks like there was a loop hole for a chain to go through, but sadly its broken. Any ideas of what the symbolism represents? The house was occupied by a Reverend, and its situated in Northern...

Hello everyone my name is Mike and I just recently purchased an entry level Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. I live on 2 and half acres of rural land in central Virginia and have been hunting around my property. I have mostly found junk, old rusty bucket, metal rods, nails, etc, but yesterday I had a...

I found a honking big file today at the local nature preserve. Pictured with it are some other relics found there or in my yard recently. Anyone kniw how old the file, square nails and pedal bell might be? Also, what is the little glass bottle for, drugs? Cheers, Mike

My wife found this tonight with a Minelab equinox 800. Written or stamped in script on the side "Sterling Silver" very small no bigger than a dime. Any ideas??:?: Maybe a snuffer?

I found this with a friend and have no clue. I cleaned it up, dried with acetone, and coated with a flat satin Rustoleum to preserve. My guess is it would be secured through the small whole and a rope would go through the other whole where the bend is. There does not seem to be wear. There are...

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...

Need help identifying badge and language. Thanks. :D

Hello Fellow Detectorists! Last week the Relic Rangers searched some of the oldest yards in town and recovered some great historical treasures! This episode has it all, from tokens to vintage toys, old coins and big silver AND oh yes - GOLD! Witness the extraction of Mercs, Buff's, V's, War...

Here is the front and back of something I found several years ago. The logo style reminds me of the Coca Cola swoosh. Any help on ID would be appreciated.

I dug this up years ago and always thought it might be a part for a Model T. Can anyone confirm this and tell me what part it is?

It was on civ grounds, but that doesn't mean anything, it may just be a granny sweater button, what you guys think?

Found this large copper piece in a CSA camp today. I thought it was brass but after cleaning it a bit I noticed a spot the digger must have nicked and its shining like copper. Hope its off a cannon?? Threaded on both ends about half inch down the hole and smooth in between. Weighs 1/2 to...

I have been working what has become known as my claim, an old off post base housing area built in the 40's by the Air Corp, and occupied through 1966. I have found silvers (9 thus far), wheats (80+), foreign coins, a dog tag and even a nice shiny sterling/diamond/sapphire ring .... but I was...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a relic hunting buddy! I work for the railroad and have a random schedule. I had a buddy in Vero beach but he moved to the gulf side. I used to do a lot of sand hunting but would rather hunt old home sites, abandoned land, or areas of beach that were only...
