    US Nickel Composition may change soon

    Crap. I have bags full of copper cents. Now I am going to have bags filled with copper/nickel nickel’s. When I kick the bucket my kids are going to think I was REALLY crazy. If I get diagnosed with a life threatening illness I think I will go to a few local parks and just spread them...

    I think metal detecting is becoming a dying hobby ....

    I agree detecting is definitely becoming more difficult. Have had to resort to agricultural fields where any indication of a homesite is long gone. Only thing to go by is old maps and then visually looking for indications of a homesite like brick, glass, coal cinders, etc. Then detecting for...

    First hunt of 2026

    I meant to say 1929 buffalo. Wish this site had an edit function. Oh yeah. The other artifact I believe to be a very early mechanical pencil.

    First hunt of 2026

    Finally able to finish seeding my crop. Had 2 1/2 hrs before sunset so grabbed the Manticore and went to an old schoolyard that is close. It has seen metal detectors since the mid 1970’s. A metal detecting club from a nearby city hunted it regularly from around 1975-1983. I have hunted it...

    Stirrup I.D.

    On the bottom side of the foot portion of the stirrup. Needed a loop to see them through the rust. The second stirrup has no markings. The size of the second one makes me think it is a ladies side saddle stirrup but just a guess.

    Stirrup I.D.

    The first stirrup I believe I have identified correctly. A cavalry stirrup from 1911-12 and marked B.M. Co. U.S. The last 2 pics of the second one is an enigma. They were both found by my brother-in-law on a knoll with no previous settlement. No homestead site. No other associated artifacts...

    If you could only USE the ???

    I can’t speak for the CTX but can for etrac. I also can’t beat jmaclen’s excellent response. Compared to the etrac the manticore: 1. Much, much faster target response and separation. Therefore it also alerts you to more targets. 2. It is deeper detecting and also indicates smaller...

    Manticore Clear Screen Protector Installation

    My fix. Cleaned the original screen REALLY well. Then had my wife install the screen protector. She has better eyesight, dexterity and patience. I believe this “experience” is from applying nail polish, fake nails, mascara and all the other products women install on their bodies. Besides if...

    Buck fifty in silver finds today.

    That is AMAZING!!! Who can say they have found a silver dollar AND a half coin spill and they were stuck together? Not many I bet. Do you think they were just missed in a unhunted corner? They gave an override signal on other detectors? People thought they were an aluminum can signal?

    Insane 3 seated 2 dimes one CC one O half dime Spanish Indians 1924 SLQ! And lots of other finds

    For Pete’s sake!!! That could be 1 month to 1 year or more of hunting for me and I have never found a seated anything. Starting to get depressed. Another snow storm forecasted for tomorrow😡. At least I can live vicariously through professional detectorist’s posts. Keep them coming. You’re...

    Sundays finds

    Darn. That was a good day. I just LOVE pastures. Usually no commercial fertilizer like ag land. Sometimes minimal cultivation to damage artifacts. That 2 cent piece is a beauty!!! Then throw in the Indian and Barber. That is 2 of my favorite coins and one of my bucket lister’s in ONE...
