I found 2 diamond and gold necklaces, one cross one heart, "tanzanite" and diamond 925 ring, 14kt. gold heart pendant, 14kt. gold horseshoe pendant, real Tiffanys heart necklace, 1 fake Tiffanys earring, 14kt. gold earrings, 2 sterling bracelets, gold filled bracelet, beautiful sterling and amber pendant/brooch, 1 small gold over 925 earring, 2 pair of sterling hoop earrings, Invicta watch, Seiko watch (doesn't work , dang) small 925 cross, sterling airplane pendant, Audubon print (frame is seriously heavy) and the show stopper..internet find, is the gorgeous vintage 1920ish white sapphire and gold engagement ring. Just stunning in person. Hope all is well everyone!! Oops found a few more pictures at the bottom!!

Wow, very nice finds and purchases! That is more good jewelry stuff than I've detected in my six years!

Well these are all thrift store or flea market finds or online deals. But still pretty awesome...

Nice collection of finds! I love a good thrift store

Thanks everyone, some days are just zero, nada and others are awesome where you find a bunch in one day or even better one store. Just gotta hit it on the right day.

Remarkably clean watches. Were they hard to clean up? I would think they'd be totally permeated with soil from rains past, mud and all..

Well I guess I assumed that you dug them up out of the dirt. Were they in the water instead? I'm just saying they look quite clean if they were actually dug up. Or maybe you just did one heck of a job cleaning them.

AviationGale does thrift store hunting for precious! She does well!

Like LovestheShiny said above I do mostly thrifting, and find a great deal of great stuff, although it is slowly down a bit. I love MDing but hard to find areas to detect and the old bones don't put up with it as it used to.

My orthopedic/rheumatoid issues are starting to hold me back from it sometimes, too. Some places are a little hard to get to, and crouching and digging alot will make me pay for it later!

No doubt getting older just plain sucks but you gotta keep moving or you'll quit moving....

I know. That's why I go for regular walks in the woods, but I don't push myself hard. I occasionally do some serious bushwhacking, and climb some crags as well. But my back and sciata are pretty bad and that is something that has never changed about me since I was a teenager. I simply can't do a lot of crouching and bending without really paying for it. If I do I'll really suffer when I go back to work. I recently purchased some knee pads which has made digging a little easier.

Have you considered surgery for your back? I know mine made all the difference in the world, I couldn't live like that anymore. 3 months healing and I was dancing out of the Docs office.
