    Got a big Lincoln today....sort of !

    A Web search shows that they started in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1905. That's a great find.

    Found Platinum (almost)

    It came out of a curb strip. Anyway, it's a keeper just for the name. Cheers, Joe

    Road trip treasures.

    Those Minie balls hit some things hard. They did their service. Anything about the history of the site? Was there a battle there? You have some excellent finds. Cheers, Joe

    Oddly Damaged Cent

    Usually when coin-shooting, I search with the zinc cents notched out. Doing some curb strips this week, I said "what the heck" and decided to just go along and see what was there. This zinc Lincoln came up. Sure, I've seen plenty of damaged coins but none like this. I wonder what happened...

    Miniature Box

    This little box was about 4 inches down in a curb strip. It's bronze, with inlaid stones making a floral pattern. It's only about one inch in size. On the bottom it's marked "Italy". It was carefully cleaned with a light brushing. When opened, it was found to contain three pills -- very...

    Garrett Takes On A New Shape (more hints)

    John wrote: "I hope they include size imaging to depth, similar to the GTI Series." Man, you said all. Right there. You said it straight. Come on, Garrett. Not another unit (yawn) with just VDI numbers, segments, tones, discrimination settings, and so on, like the rest. Target...

    A Coin and a Ring -- No Beeps Needed

    Quarantine, staying in the house -- reading the news: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-52217042 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-52177527 Cheers, Joe

    Let's throw some advice on stuff to do during self quarantining at home. Share what you are doing and any good advice...

    I gotta say ... I don't see how "quarantine" applies to our hobby. Suppose I'm out doing some curb strips. They are eight feet wide, with an open street on one side and an open sidewalk with open yards to homes on the other side. When somebody goes by on the sidewalk, they are walking...

    Big silver 1894 S !!!

    Those are amazing finds! Not only the 1894S Half Dollar, but also the buttons and the pin with the deer. Is it silver? (Looks like it.) Cheers, Joe

    Civil War Era Cabin Sight Produces Nice Finds

    Now I'm wondering ... We've seen 3-ringers with teeth marks on them. Maybe that was because there was nothing to give to a guy getting surgery in the field, on a wound or broken bone, without any anesthetic. While the doctor's cutting and sawing on you ... here ... bite the bullet. Bite...

    Strange Indian Head

    That is a strange one. What does the other side look like? Cheers, Joe

    Gamma 6000 for a short run

    Those are super finds. I had a Gamma for several years. It was a great detector, and gave me some good finds. Cheers, Joe

    First Silver with my new AT Max!

    That is absolutely beautiful! What kind of terrain, and how far down? Cheers, Joe

    Taking Out the Trash

    Have to wonder ... How could anyone lose a trumpet mouthpiece? Where's the rest of the trumpet? What kind of area did you find it in? Was it in a school yard? In a park? On the side of a street, where there might have been a parade? If a guy was in a band, carrying the trumpet and...

    Taking Out the Trash

    We find a lot of items showing our history, and we preserve them. It's a major part of our hobby. We also pull out a lot of other things. Some might have been lost (like keys), or was thrown away by people who didn't think about what they were doing (pulltabs, bottle caps, foil, crushed...

    Looked Good at First

    High tone, coin ID, and dug a plug. I blinked when I saw those ridges around the edge. No problem, can't complain at all ... -- in the ... next hole, came up with a 1918 Wheatie. Cheers, Joe

    Some Great Curb Strips

    Several days with surprises on some curb strips. Great all the way, with the Garrett GTI2500 and Teknetics Omega. The 1887 dime was about 4 inches down, and the American Legion medal was only 2 inches down. The Civil War Minie and round ball were 7 inches down and only 3 inches apart --...

    One good find

    What an excellent find! We can be sure that there's a patriotic story and a family's story in it. Cheers, Joe
