Metal Detecting Finds?

I hope so! Thought my wife was going to get me a detector for my BDay last week but got me a Harmony One remote to replace the one they keep dropping on the wood floor.

Told her I got shorted on this gift since it's replacing my remote my daughter and her keep dropping! Should have gotten it plus something else!

Looking for it for Christmas.

Good luck. If you end up going out and detecting the spot, post what you find!

 

Hope to do so but my photog sucks!

 

I found this a couple years ago, to bad I scratched it digging it out.

It was laying on its side and when I first hit it I started smiling and thought I found someones hidden loot. Just someone elses black gold...

Heavy silver plate will tone like that.

If it is silver there should be a marking on the back of the handle indicating that it is silver.

Besides the maker's name, any other marks?


aside:
Found a 1959 Silver Roosie at a school, under the swings two weeks ago.

The sad part is that it doesn't happen often enough.

 

Got the Ace 350 today so hoping to get some decent weather to practice with the detector.

 

Good luck! Please post your insight. I'd like to hear what you think about the 350.

Thanks.

Will do Cheetah but it's all new to me. I will be doing my yard and then probably relatives yards soon.

That roman helmet...What a remarkable find, and gripping story.
I clicked alot of the links, and can't remember if i read this...but what was it made of?

 

I saw that discovery and since the country has such ancient history I would definitely have a premium MD to hunt with!

 

It really sucks that I cannot go out metal detecting because of winter here. My favorite place to do it, is in the lake. The window of opportunity is short for that. And on land, the ground is frozen solid

 

I just got a Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II for christmas. Cant wait for winter to pass so I can get out and give it a try. I have about 400 acres I can search on, one piece of it has an old cemetary with dates from he early 1800's with the Forbes trail running right passed it, another piece has places cut into the side of a cliff and barriers built by soldiers in either the Civil, Revolutionary, or French and Indian war, and another that also has the Forbes trail going right past it, a farm built in the early 1900s and a2 cabins that are now destroyed but were from the late 1700s. Cant wait!!

 

Take along a camera and take pics of your finds in situ. Makes it more exciting for the reader:

 

Canadian coinage alongside U.S.?

Are you close to the border?

 

About 90 minutes drive. At the turn of the last century, Winnipeg was a big tourist area for Americans because we were on the way to Lake Winnipeg where Grand Beach is located. There were daily trains that transported U.S. citizens back and forth. At one point, I've heard that there was so much U.S. coinage here that they had to box it up in huge crates to ship back to the States. I've found Indian Heads, Barber coins, and tons of wheats in the parks here. The ones I detect are over a hundred years old and haven't changed very much during those years. I use old photos of the parks to show where the concentration of activity was back then and that's where I detect.

 

Plan on detecting my inlaws property tomorrow. Old neighborhood.

 

I just bought the ACE 250 with the extra 9x12 coil. Being in Baumholder, Germany I should have some pretty interesting finds. The area dates back to the Romans and the post I am on began as a WWII German camp that was occupied by the French and then turned over to the Americans in tHe fifties. I can't wait for it to get hear and see what kind of goodies I can find!

 

Well found nails, tabs, clothes pin spring & other things that I didnt want to find. Some bricks about 12" down, a marble, piece of copper or brass. Will look some more next week as they are big lots.

 

Does anyone else ever cringe at how folks handle coins in these types of videos? As soon as he started clawing at the dirt with a knife blade I wanted to hit him in the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

No! ... No.
