    MXT + D2 coil sniffs out a barber half

    This is not a significant find by far but it was surprising where it was found. I found it in a park that has been hunted very thoroughly for several decades now. I've hunted this park for at least 10 years and so far have only found 3 silver dimes(trifecta at that) and a couple modern silver...

    Whites MXT Pro & D2 coil find: It says Waltham and 17 Jewels on the face. Inside the band clasp it says Whiting & Davis Mesh Bags. I can only find one other watch just like this on Etsy HERE.and one similar on Ebay HERE. The one on Ebay has a more modern looking face and dials but the rest of...

    Need ID on metal tin container

    I can make out "The Atlas La*el Prot*................" I assume the 3rd word is LABEL and the 4th is PROTECTS. And as I am typing this I decided the last word begins with Y, and assume it is YOU. So going back to google I search "The Atlas Label Protects You" and easily figure out what it...

    Pulltab ID

    I've seen a chart somewhere about IDing pulltabs and thought it would be interesting to figure out what this pulltab was from. I've never seen this style before, solid pull. It has a few things about it that probably make it unique like the 5 bumps on the pull section. Its an older beaver tail...

    ID on a jewelry piece, also is this silver?

    I had about an hour to detect, rare for me these days, so I went to the park near my house again and found a few pieces of jewelry. I wasn't getting any coin signals in the area so I was digging really weak signals. The square jewelry piece has red around the edge, white in the center and 2 blue...

    Need a date for Union Infantry button

    I found my FIRST Infantry button! All my others have been general service. I thought I knew a bit about aging these but I need some help. All I know about this is the obvious within the title, it has a plain back and is 2 piece. Anyone have some info to add mostly about the age? At first I was...

    D2 coil picks out a nice silver

    I have thoroughly cherry picked my yard but now I am going back over it and digging every junk signal I can find and its paying off! This necklace is sterling but due to the design having so many holes in it it has a bit of a broken signal and must have been skipped over the first few passes...

    Whites D2 coil VDI's

    I just bought a D2 coil and I have mixed emotions about it so far. It could turn out to be just fine but I am digging quite a few pull-tabs and bottle caps that show as a solid penny signal around 77-79 VDI. Anyone else that has a D2 coil, could you please let me know if this is normal. I have...

    Possible bakelite, detailed screw cap

    Possible bakelite, detailed screw cap. I did a bakelite test on it using scrub free shower cleaner and it is only somewhat indicative to be bakelite. It puts off faint yellow coloring when cleaned. It was attached to a tin or aluminum tube which the threads were all that remained. Picture shows...

    KEARNEY CORP ST LOUIS MO...ID?

    One has 30 and the other has 10 stamped on it. Both say KEARNEY CORP ST LOUIS MO. I googled this info and only found one lead and it was at this forum! http://www.findmall.com/read.php?13,534758 His has what appears to be a wire still connected to it, perhaps a fuse? If so, it would have one of...

    Odd spike with flattened, button like top

    Found today in my back yard. My house was originally built in 1900 but the town dates to aprox 1840. I don't know if the property was lived on before this house was built. This item shows as a +14 VDI, same as a nickel. The emblem on it looks like a large horse shoe with a small horse shoe...

    German Button and old spark plug?

    Todays finds with my MXT Pro included what looks like part of an old spark plug. Anyone recognize it? I think it had a threaded outer nut like modern spark plugs but the top(shown at the bottom in the pic) has small threads for a wire...

    Large Cent

    I asked my father to show me and my brother where some old homesteads were and he led us to one of the earliest homesteads in my part of North Central Missouri. We walked back and forth in a patch of woods for awhile and then after scratching his head for a minute he pointed at the ground and...

    old Buttons, pre-CW site

    Today I found some buttons in an area that I have previously found a great seal military button that was dated to approx 1860 according to the back stamp since they changed every several years. I went back and found another one like it but I also found several others including a flat button the...

    Lead Clad Copper, Square and tapered rod?

    I found this today in Livingston County, Mo(North Central). The items I am finding at this site date from aprox 1900-1950. Stamped on the side of this is PHILLIPS & SON. The outter layer is Lead but I am not positive what the core is made from but it is easily bendable. I can bend it using 3...

    shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?

    I have dug alot of shell casings but this one caught my eye as I was about to toss it out. There was another .22 cal shell casing next to it and it was obvious that they were different sizes. Has anyone seen a bullet so close to this popular cal and yet slightly larger than a .22? I inserted the...

    NON-Copper penny?? Help ID

    Today I was excited to find what I thought was a silver dime because of how shiny this came out of the ground and I'm hunting an area abandoned in the mid 1950's with some finds being around 1898 so far. But then I realised it was not a dime but a penny, Although it looks very different than it...

    Metal band similar to waterfowl leg band.

    I found this yesterday near Trenton, MO. The only thing I can imagine it could be is a leg band but I never knew of them having a rivet in them. Most or all are just wrapped around the leg and rely on the metal not bending during the birds lifetime. But this one having the rivet makes me think...
