What Was Your Grossest Find?

[SmirkAtTheMerc]

Well, I’ve never found anything too gross, what about you guys?



Well, I did find a piece of gum in one of my holes!

 

[Junkminer]

Someone's grill, a gold tooth, or a dead bird in a jar. Probably the bird was the worst.

 

[ToySoldier]

Two very recently dropped coins with gum stuck between them.

Several thermometers. I always think that's sort of gross.

Retainer.


So, this wasn't metal detecting, but I was on my way to metal detect and stopped in a gas station bathroom. There was a quarter sitting on the back of the toilet. No thanks!

My grossest find was a used condom in the chips at the bottom of the slide in a tot lot.

Last summer I actually found a vibrator at the beach...sorry , just couldn't pick that out of my scoop. So I just dumped it back for another lucky hunter !

I found a cocaine spoon, you know those pendants upscale users used to wear around their neck? The pendant was filled with cocaine and the insert was a small spoon to snort off of.

I still have it somewhere, haven’t used it yet though.

A dog tag/collar. Still had what was left of the dog attached to it.

There used to be small tube style pendants with elaborate designs. Some in the shape of a spur. Silver were common back in the day. Gold ones were rare and are sought after today.

I think the one I found is pewter, but it is an elaborate design for sure.

144 zinc pennies.

I found some kind of 70s crack pipe next to a road.

I also found a crack pipe at a local park but I didnt take a picture.

 

[Azmodeus]

I found a few grills with the waxxy stuff still inside, that's pretty gross. But when I first started detecting years ago I dug up an antique little embossed medicine ointment tin thing. I thought it was cool as heck since the hobby was brand new to me back then and I hadn't found much. Sitting there opening it and rubbing the front of it. It said "cure for piles". Got home and did a bunch of searching on what piles was. Yeah...it's hemorrhoids, I know that now. Gross

 

[Dirty-Bob]

Used heroin needles, I found six in a “spill”metal detecting, my record is 32 out of a hotel room when I was managing hotels

 

[Iggyks]

Digging in a park I hit a two inch insect pupa that started leaking white crud. The signal was a modern spoon

No Glove, No Love....

Well, looks like someone had a cold a shower as they lost their glove (at an elementary school). Found it down about 2 inches. It's a first to me. The things you can find with a MD!

I found some kind of 70s crack pipe next to a road.

Crack wasn’t in use in the 70s. Not till about the mid-80s. Must’ve been a weed pipe.
