    Silver is always welcome!

    Beautiful day for detecting. I had a couple of hrs to spare and although I couldn't get anything gold/colored! lol I managed to get this silver dime and clad coins. I've had some great finds in the past from this park with 2 nice size gold rings (one with real diamonds in)! and some nice silver...

    This pull tab is staying right where I found it!

    All I could do is smile at this pulltab and cover it all up and move on!! The struggle is real folks!!lol. Of course, if that was a gold ring, that root would have been in 2 pieces in 5 seconds!!

    A 'roasted' dateless Buff Nickel!

    After picking up a very bad virus/sinusitis:puke: after visiting family in Illinois and not being able do any detecting for awhile, it felt soooo good to power up the Safari and visit some local soccer fields (actually 4 soccer fields in line)!. Ive found some jewelry and lot's of clad in the...

    Gold Coin?.........well, it looked like one!!

    We've had some storms come through lately and although it was trying real hard to rain, I ventured out to a local park and along with finding a decent amount of coins including a good amount of quarters, I had a great sounding target under my coil. Just below the surface, I saw this coin and...

    English Coins!

    I spent a couple of weeks in England recently and although I didn't find any Saxon gold hoards or any relics that were museum worthy (which I was hoping for)!!! I did find a few old coins. I think the real treasure was just being in England and soaking up the feeling of being in places that...

    Having fun detecting in England!

    Flew here to England for 2 weeks and after 3 hrs, dug some old copper coins the earliest being a 1906 penny. While the coins are not worth much, it's great fun to detect here knowing that there is always a real possibility to dig some really old coins and collectibles!! I even found 2 old copper...

    Display backlight.

    Can anyone recommend a good display/screen light/set up that will work well on a Safari? I've played with some l.e.d. lights but haven't found a set up that works well without the glare from the plexiglass/lexan screen. I want to detect more in low light conditions and don't want to have to quit...

    The Key To Alcatraz!!

    It's been so horrendously hot here in Southern California throughout this Summer. I live only 15 minutes drive from the big fires in the Cajon Pass on the 15 freeway so between the heat and being so busy with things, I have not been detecting at all for so long. I broke away from my busy...

    A little Sterling!

    I haven't been detecting for some time now and it felt awesome to get out again and stretch those muscles and give my brain a break from all the craziness happening in my life and in the world!! (Don't get me started on politics)!! I got the little silver chain today and the Las Vegas token and...

    $5000 coin but only worth $1!

    Detected this coin today and I only wished it was worth $5000! Alas, they made 50,000,000 of these bad boy's so it's worth around a $1.....still, it makes a change to find something other than the 'run of the mill' coins we all find on a regular basis! I'm still looking for some more gold but...

    Found an Ike $1 Coin!

    I initially thought it was going to be trash target...but it had an intriguing sound and I could tell that if it was a coin, it would be a big one so I dug! It was just where spectators would sit next to a soccer field. Because of the distance from my home, I haven't been very thorough in...

    A hollowed out Nickel and a cool cheap ring!

    This is a first kind find for me. I have never metal detected a hollowed out (looks like a lathe job) coin and a copper cap for the back. It was very lightly soldered together when I dug it up from a park today and I was hoping for a piece of microfilm or something intriguing inside but there...

    A fun hunt today....a pocket travelling clock/watch!

    Found this little travelling clock/watch this afternoon and after a little light cleaning, I got it working! It was out of sight (but not out of detecting range)lol!! 2 inches below the ground. The crystal was toast but fortunately, the movement wasn't rusted! The before and after pic's with a...

    Minelab+FBS=A screaming silver machine!

    A few days ago, I detected this religious medallion and just like other 925 silver items, my Safari literally screamed when the coil passed over it. I've found that smaller silver coins also display a solid 39 and the familiar high pitched scream sound but some other larger silver jewellery...

    Silver and odds and ends!

    Got this silver religious medallion today and the other stuff yesterday. Just detecting the local parks and still looking for any gold rings and jewellery that might be out there waiting to be detected! Those living on the West Coast would agree that we've had some awesome cooler weather so it...

    No much happening here....looking for Spring to come quickly!!

    I don't know about you but I'm not finding anything beside the usual amount of coins and assorted junk jewellery. Even though the temps are beginning to climb here, it's still not warm enough for people to get out and be as physically active as they are in Spring and Summer. It's still lot's of...

    Solid Silver Bracelet....another park find!

    An aprox; 2hr detecting trip with my Safari to a nearby park yielded this silver bracelet today. It was a tricky target to pick out because of the many pull tabs/foil/bottle caps and other trash targets but having made a goal this year to slow down my coil swinging and listen more carefully to...

    Silver Bracelet...another park find!

    Got out today for a couple of hrs and came home with this solid silver bracelet. One of my New Year's goals is to slow down more in my detecting and listen more carefully for those elusive gold signals. If there is no gold to be had, silver is just great as well!! This piece of silver was...

    RNB ML-3100 Battery..+ Cross Found....should have been gold!

    Last Christmas, I bought myself a Christmas present. The RNB ML-3100 Lith-ion rechargeable and even though I've been out quite a few times since I purchased it, I haven't had to recharge mine yet! It's still showing a full charge and I kick myself that I hadn't bought this battery a long time...

    A bullet (easy on the Lesche!) and a silver 'bar'?

    Got these yesterday from a local park. Like many of you, once in awhile, I'll find live bullets and wonder what everyone does with them if you don't have a gun with the same caliber? Throw them in a trash can or....? The other find is a small 1 1/2" silver bar and it reminds me of the bar on a...
