    Found this small bullet yesterday

    Anyone know what type of bullet and the approximate time period it is from? Ruler is in mm so it is a little less than 1/2 inch. Thx.

    Got various opinions on what this is on another site.

    I think the Hames are more ornate with one side much longer than the other.

    Got various opinions on what this is on another site.

    Thanks. That was what a few other people said, and that was I was leaning towards. Is there a way to tell how old they are?

    Detector for an 80 yr old Newbie

    I am a Tesoro and Minelab user now and had a Bounty Hunter as my first detector 20 years ago. Someone asked me to recommend a detector for an 80 year-old who wants to start the hobby, so I am asking for advice. Thx

    McCormick Reaper Centennial Coin

    Went out to an area where a farm house from 1902 was demolished, Thought I had finally found a large cent but it turned out to be a 1931 Cyrus McCormick Reaper Centennial coin put out by International Harvester. A little disappointed but still an interesting find.

    First silver in awhile

    I have not detected in over 3 weeks due to weather (hot!), vacation (Iceland, cold!), and having a cold. So a rare dry and not too hot day appeared and decided to go light and take out the Vaquero without earphones (still too hot) and just try a place I have hunted a few times before. To be...

    Can anyone identify the approximate time period for this

    I posted these photos a number of years ago but never got a definite answer on what time period this cuff-link/clasp is from. It appears to be made out of something like bronze or pewter. Thus, I am trying again if someone can identify the period or make. Thanks

    After many fruitless months of MDing....

    Over a 3 day span I found my first Indian Head penny and my first wedding gold wedding band. The last 4 or 5 months have been fairly fruitless till now using wither my Tesoro Vaq or the 705 which is my main machine. The junk ring was found on a junior high football field about 3 inches down...

    This is hollow, fairly heavy, and WWII Army tank in color. Does not appear to be iron, possibly old bronze or brass? AA cell for size comparison. Thanks, Andy from HIllsborough

    Cracked coil

    My low freq. coil has a crack in it. I do not know if this is just in the protective cover since I do not know for sure if it has one though it looks like I could pry it off. Should I worry about it, try to epoxy the crack or leave it? Thanks, Andy from Hillsborough

    Trouble with pinpointing on the 705

    I have been using the 705 as my main detector for over a year now and love it. However, the pinpointing is starting to act erratically. Some times when I switch to pinpointing after I locate a target, the sound drops out completely until I go back to normal detecting and try the pinpointing...
