    Here's my autumn harvest.

    It's been a bumper crop. Hoping for a winter garden, too. Most of these finds are from junky, iron infested sites that I've been hitting for years. There's an 1892O quarter, 1900&1914D dimes, and several wheat cents of unusual dates: 1913D,1917D,1920D,1924,1926D,1933D, and 1936S. There's a 1912...

    Liberty cap

    I think what you are seeing is the 1/200 on the reverse of the coin, which = 1/2 cent. The obverse would have the date. Nice find. I've never found any US coins that old in Texas.

    164yr old silver amongst latest finds 9-6-20

    When I'm not working, I'm out with my CTX3030. Been so busy, haven't been able to post. The 1st pic is a 1914-1927 Dodge Brothers watch fob found among other relics at a spot I've hit before with other detectors. The 2nd pic is the tiniest silver coin I've ever found: 1926 Mexican 10 Centravos...

    1st 2 Times out with CTX3030

    Just got a CTX3030 to see what the fuss is about. Took it to a park and empty lot that's been covered by me and probably generations of other detectorists. Will take me a while to learn all the settings, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. The 1892 dime was found at the empty lot just before...

    Is it a marble?

    Yes, it’s a ceramic marble. I consider those a poor-man’s marble since I find a lot in poorer neighborhoods. I’ve found the glazed brown like yours, glazed blue, glazed white, and unglazed clay. Nice job on the Franklin half. They seem to be harder to find than Walking Liberty halves.

    AirPods connection?

    Does anyone know if Apple AirPods can somehow be connected to a V3. Does the detector use radio or Bluetooth?

    Finds of 7/29&30/2020 amongst lots of old trash

    Had to work out-of-town this week in West Texas, so brought my detector for some evening hunting. The temperature maxed out at 110 degrees each day. But it was a dry heat. Found a site that had been recently cleared and was covered with old glass in some extremely dry sand. Must have been a...

    Buckle & a ?

    Those are rivets instead of screws, so it was attached to leather or metal. Attached to saddle?

    1893 Barber Quarter / Barber Dimes / Merchant Tokens / Very Old Skeleton Key / Silver Jewelry

    Good stuff, as usual from you. I agree, the 1903 locks were a crazy coincidence. Is the Firestone object silver or aluminum? Does the 1915 quarter have a mint mark? S would be nice. The Eagle button is unusual. I wish my aluminum tokens came out of the ground as nice as yours. Can't wait to see...

    Silver ring with opals, weird brass key thing, clad, and a button that says "loser"

    That must be a vintage 1865 Democratic Convention button. The most sought-after loser button of all time. It's not worth anything, but it preserves the romance of the Civil War. Nice ring! I think the key is cool anyway. I've never seen one like that. 3" bottle opener? The handle is only 2"...

    Big Silver Weekend! / 1941 Chauffeur License Badge / 1897 Brunswick Token / Wiped Shield Nickel

    Glad you found a chauffeur badge. I’ve found a few and they’re always nice. I like yours a lot. That’s awesome finding the ink well with the lid. The Joe Bush trade token is also a keeper.

    A Mix Of Silver / Relics / Jewelry / Tokens And A Complete Surprise Non Metal Item In The Hole!

    Cool stuff. You consistently find interesting relics. Like the Swedish ship and Cat fobs. The silver hair pin is nice, too. The clown token just gets creepier with age.

    I'm offended by tearing down history!!!!!!!

    It's lonely out here. I would have been thrown in jail or worse for that kind of speech back in the day. 1st Amendment back when America was Great?

    Live .50 round found!

    Be careful. If that goes off it'll blow a large hole in whatever is around. Folks have lost important body parts digging things like that up.

    I'm offended by tearing down history!!!!!!!

    I feel like I should put my opinion of this "find" topic in perspective by listing some of my own history. The truth hurts. I'm a 59 yr old white man who has lived in the South all my life. I've been able to live in any part of town I wish my whole life. Not true for black men. We've all heard...

    I'm offended by tearing down history!!!!!!!

    Statues are not history. Statues celebrate historic figures. Columbus did not discover America. General Lee did not win the war for the South. The statue of Columbus was erected before historians learned the truth. The statues of Lee and other CSA (enemy of the USA) traitors were erected decades...

    1896 Barber Quarter, 2 1/2 Cent Billiards Pool Hall Token / Other Tokens / Silver Coins / Ornate Sterling Ring

    Love the tokens, especially the 2 1/2. Great job on the silver.

    Big old silver in the bean field

    That was probably a prized possession for a poor farmer back in the day. I'm sure there's an interesting story behind that lost coin. Nice recovery.

    A week's worth of detecting, 5/23-31/2020.

    Took a week off to just relax and do some serious digging. Some would say I'm out of my mind. Anyway, found a lot of stuff. The 1st pic has the second Silver ID bracelet I've found in 2 weeks. The 2nd pic has a mounted 1972 Eisenhower Dollar and a Bulova watch. The 3rd has a 1891 large centavo...

    is this Robert E Lee?

    There were a lot of white guys with beards on stuff in the 19th Century. Could be a politician, inventor, businessman, who knows?
