1838?

Very nice find! I am dying to get a detector! It is on my Christmas list!

 

about cost me a diorvce lol man I love it I got the prizm 5. Smart mode 950. I love it got a water proof head.

 

What would you recommend for a budget detector?

 

I bought mine at pawn shop for 250. Only one I ever had it's easy to use and I like the smart mode.

 

Shot in the dark and a lucky find. Keep looking, but the chances of a 'hoard' are practically nil.

 

You never know may be I get to retire soon LMAO

 

1833

 

Fisher F22
Just got one for my nephew for Christmas. Cheap but good for starters.
Less than $300.00


Don't purchase any detector less than $200.00

And in time you can turn in your treasures and get what I have.. Minelab CTX 3030
$2500.00

 

Not with that head style. Looks like 1833 N-1.

 

Soak it in acetone to try and remove some of that debis on the coin.

 

Yeah, I do not know anything about those large cents, I am a liberty cap draped bust guy. Thanks for the info!

 

Well I went back to the farm house this is what I found. Love that place
Cleaned for hours last night
All under ground.

 

Is that... a soprano saxophone?!

 

Great that you actually found something cool. I used to metal detect when I was a kid but the best I found was a busted cheap Japanese made wrist watch that looked like it had been buried for 20 or so years. I never found anything worth my time. But that's the way it is with everything I get involved with.

 

Nice find! The saxophone could probably be repaired and played again too! Thats a sweet find, see if you can find any markings on it, vintage instruments can go for some big money.

 

That's NOT a saxophone. It's a metal Bb soprano clarinet, circa 1920-1950. 95% sure it's from the 1930s.

It's silver-plated, which is nice. And it doesn't appear to be bent so it should clean up well and be able to play.

This is a one-piece instrument, meaning that the quality and value are generally going to be at the lower end. Expect $150 for a typical example in restored condition, with original case.

As-is, you can probably get $30-$50 for it.

Post a close-up picture of the bottom bell portion. Most metal clarinets are not worth too much, except for certain brands (Bettony, Selmer, King) that could be worth considerably more. Metal clarinets generally are only marked on the bell only.

I repair clarinets for a living; PM me if you want me to take a closer look, appraise, or restore the clarinet for you.

 

Cool finds. Keep looking

 

Way Cool!
How does one go about losing something like that!

Dang kids

 

Honestly, that's pretty wild. But then again, I guess we all have that one expensive thing that we've lost long ago..
