    Beginner's Luck

    In the news ... https://www.nms.ac.uk/explore-our-collections/stories/scottish-history-and-archaeology/iron-age-gold-torcs/ Quoting the newspaper story --- the guy found them "on his first outing with a metal-detector – only seven steps from his car." Park car. Get out of car. Turn on...

    Brass plate writing?

    Question: ... Where was it found (city, state)? I might be able to find more information about him from public records, and can post it here. Cheers, Joe

    Here's the image reversed. It looks like a printing plate (maybe for a business card). Cheers, Joe

    Oilfield Trash Pin

    This one was about 3 inches down in a vacant lot in a well traveled area. It came in the Target ID mid 60's range on the Teknetics Omega. It's a pin, about an inch wide. Even though it says "Trash", I'll keep it. Cheers, Joe

    Garbage

    Well done, moderator. We see enough trash and junk in the ground, and we remove it. No need to see it here. Cheers.

    A Wheatie and a Watcher

    Out with the Garrett GTI2500 today on the Jacksonville curb strips ... Got a nice "penny" signal and dug up a nice 1947S Wheatie. Sitting on the ground next to the hole was this little guy, watching me. He didn't try to hop away, but just kept looking. A good day, all around. Cheers, Joe

    Curb Strip Junk

    I'll keep the two quarters and two pennies. The other stuff is part of a man's watch, a faucet, and a piece of trim from a Mercedes-Benz "GL" auto. (I thought things weren't supposed to fall off expensive cars.) It's going to recycling. Cheers, Joe

    Did a Good Deed (I hope)

    I went by there again, just to check it out. After more than a month, the key's still hanging there on a nail on the fence. It's easy to see it from the street. I guess the guy is doing OK without it. Cheers, Joe

    Got Permission To Hunt A Couple Of Lots Where Some Houses Were Just Torn Down

    Those are excellent finds. Well done, John. The 1929 bicycle license tag is probably a more rare and unusual find than a 1929 coin. Folks used to discuss about whether or not a bicycle license was "necessary". . . . A license is not necessary. Why can't I just ride my bike, without...

    Did a Good Deed (I hope)

    Well, I went by the spot again today. The keys are still hanging there, on a nail on the fence. They're easily seen by anyone walking or driving by. I guess the guy hasn't been out looking, or doesn't need them anymore. Cheers, Joe

    Kenya coin in Missouri

    He was born in Hawaii. About that coin ... Somebody else from Kenya was there, in Missouri (the "Show Me" state) on that day. He was walking around with a coin in his pocket. Maybe a bar or another shop in Missouri took that Kenya coin, no problem, for a cold beer on a hot day, or a loaf...

    Kenya coin in Missouri

    A coin like that always raises a lot of questions and makes us wonder. Did some fellow just carry it around in his pocket, not knowing what it was? Did he just get an odd foreign coin in his change at the supermarket? (That's happened to me several times.) Or, was it something important to...

    Thought is was a junker token..... boy was I wrong!

    That is a wonderful discovery. Someone will be surprised and thankful to hear about it, and will remember back across the years as though it only happened yesterday. Please let us know how it turns out. Cheers, Joe

    On the Curb Strips Again

    It was a great day to be outside on the curb strips in Jacksonville, Florida, swinging the coil on the Garrett GTI-2500. Finding the Italian coin was a surprise. Cheers, Joe
