    Old Salt Shaker

    I searched an old park yesterday and found a bunch of clad coins, washers, can slaw, bottlecaps, lots of trash... and a crusty salt shaker. Tonight I noticed a maker's mark on the shaker and for fun I searched the net for it. It turns out that its a collected glass company, Hazel-Atlas that...

    Hunting for gold nuggets in the West?

    Just curious if anyone has done any hunting for gold nuggets near streams out West in the U.S. or elsewhere? I grew up in Colorado... Actually panned for gold a few times, looong before I ever owned a metal detector... It probably shaped me early in my love for treasure hunting! I'd love to...

    What to do with junky brass, bronze and copper metals?

    What do you do with your junky Brass, copper, and bronze metals. I mean, do you just hold onto it? Or do you keep your metals separated, and trade in for cash once you have a bit of it? Maybe some folks just toss it out... I have a few old brass and copper pipe ends, and tubes... Even an old...

    Hunted around an old 1830's Military Fort today

    Well I got tired of beach hunting lately and decided to take a trip up to an old Florida military Fort and surrounding area that was founded sometime around the late 1830's. I didn't find any really old coins which is what I was hoping for, but I did find some interesting things. That dime is...

    Strange signals.. help on using my MXT?

    I just got home from using my MXT at a local beach... I was getting a lot of strange signals today, and I realized fairly quickly that there was a lot of little chunks of black iron, here and there. Probably a rusting boat sunk off shore, or maybe pieces of the steel used on the sand breakers...

    Beach Detecting at Night?

    I am for some reason anxious to lay my MXT over some beaches today... But unfortunately I work till after dark later tonight. I was considering going to the beach anyway with a flashlight er something. Do any of you use your metal detector on the beaches at night? Bad idea? Or good idea? Pros...

    A few new beach finds.

    I didn't notice this Beach Hunting forum before I posted this on another topic, so I reposted most of it again. Big waves on Wednesday, kind of stormy weather. At low tide I went out for about an hour and found what you see in the picture. The waves eroded away a bit of the sand, and you could...

    Mystery Pin?

    I found this old pin in Colorado, in a field back around 1987. The front appears to be glass baked enamel. I've never been able to pin point what the insignia means on the front. The picture shows the front and back of it... Any one have an any idea what this pin means?

    A Few New Beach Finds

    Big waves on Wednesday, kind of stormy weather. At low tide I went out for about an hour and found what you see in the picture. The waves eroded away a bit of the sand, and you could see where the heavier surf had been. I was surprised to find all that change and only about three pull tabs...

    Laws make detecting tough these days!

    I was looking for a better place to start this thread, like under laws perhaps, but I might have missed it... I used to metal detect in the late 1980's... Then didn't have one til my White MXT which I got about four years ago... I learned quickly that everything changed as far as what is legal...

    Unlikely find, not metal but good non the less!

    I didn't know where to post this exactly but since I use an MXT, though you folks might enjoy this find... Well it's funny how things work out. I went to search a new area I've never been to before this afternoon. There are a few historic landmarks peppering this semi remote area. One spot I...

    Question on using the MXT and ground balancing.

    Hey, I have a question about the MXT. I was searching a spot recently and I had several targets that were deep. I could just barely sense the targets in both coin/jewelry and in relic mode, but when I tried to target the depth of the item all I got was an all over depth at about 6 inches, not...

    Some sort of belt attachment?

    I found this recently, not exactly sure what it is, but it's copper and there is a stone or glass piece still attached to one corner. It's about the size of a U.S. quarter. I believe it could be from 1900 to 1930 era. Was really corroded when I first found it, but it cleaned up good with...

    Mercury Water?

    Hey I was just wondering....I found an old bottle dump by accident when I lived in another state.....I pulled a few out, and one of them that I remember said Mercury Water and a picture of a devil on one side, if I remember correctly. The bottle was about the size of a wine bottle and was clear...

    Went out today for a few hours.

    Well I went out to a new site I've been researching. First thing I realized is that Google Earth needs to be updated. Some of the areas I wanted to search are currently in the process of being developed, and are under about six feet of leveled dirt covering up a big field. This hunting spot had...

    Hello, I'm new to the forum here, but I'd like to introduce myself with a quick background about who I am and my treasure hunting past. My name is Erik, and I live in Florida. I first received a no name detector when I was about 13 years old, passed down from my uncle...No discrimination...
