    1854 LC found, Wake County, NC, outskirts of Garner

    Near the location of where an 1840's home once stood in the woods, about 50 yards from the homestead, I dug this nice 1854 large cent. I found it about 3" down near a tree, that surely was not there when it was dropped. Surely there is more in the area and I will continue the search for more...

    Avionic Equipment tag found/returned at Seymour Johnson AFB

    Just returned a tag I recently found with my metal detector on base. Gave it to a thankful Avionics Technician at Seymour Johnson AFB. It says, "Attack Transmitter for F-15", with unique, specific Manufacture number. I found it in front of Base Ops, about 3 inches down. He was suprised and...

    Gold ring with Scuba Tector

    Another trip to the lake and out popped a 14k gold ring with 5 small diamonds, one of which is missing. After a 3 hour hunt, this was my last find as I was prepping to leave.

    Scuba Tector Finds at the Lake.

    Two different days at a lake beach with the Scuba Tector. First day, few finds, chased off by thunderstorm after an hour of hunting. Day 2, more finds after about 2 1/2 hrs. Visibility zero. All had to be done by feel, which actually was kind of fun. Exception was the kids that would throw...

    After about a 45 minute hunt......BAM, I found his ring!

    A few days ago in Garner, I found a neighbor’s lost wedding ring with my metal detector! One in a long line of lost items returned over the years! Joy for all!

    Fisher F-75 LTD malfunction

    Wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem. I have not used my detector in several months and fired it up the other day. I had 2 horizontal lines where the numerical readout is. There were lines marking out numbers above as though I set notch discrimination (which I never do). After...

    Unusual bottle ID needed for friend

    Here is a bottle/glass that a buddy of mine found in an old house. He has no clue what it was used for, nor do I. Has anyone seen one like this before? Thanks.

    Last Friday, I found trouble!

    The other day while seeking a place to detect, I found trouble. So here is the story of stories. Friday I had a whole day to spend metal detecting at my liesure because my wife and kids were out of state. Rare. I usually try to head downtown to the sketchy parts of town to detect because few...

    A few Scuba Tector finds from the lake

    A few coins and a sterling silver ring. The first item I found was the ring, I was hoping more would follow. Nope.

    The Scuba Tector Strikes Again

    My son and I used the Scuba Tector at a lake and found a nice .925 silver ring with sapphires (I hope genuine) and a Buck knife. Numerous coins and other items were pulled from the swim area.

    Scored an 1856 Half Dime

    I detected a spot in Goldsboro, NC a couple days ago. I found an 1856 Half Dime (the 3rd I have ever found), 2 CW bullets, some newer coins and what was probably a token which is all corroded. I can make out three arrows on the bottom, pointing to the right and a wreath heading up the right...

    5th dog tag found on base

    Here is the 5th dog tag I have found on Seymour Johnson AFB. I found one other in the same area several years ago, so that makes 6 total. I was able to return it to the veteran's daughter. Hopefully I will be able to return all of these also.

    And one more dog tag from the base that I found today.

    Pulled another dog tag from on Seymour Johnson AFB today. A few other goodies as well. Lest you think it is easy finding these items, I also included the pile of trash from today. It takes much patience and perseverance to make good finds. I also included an NC license plate from 1951 and pipe...

    Three WW-II dog tags in one day!!

    I still can't believe I found not one, but three, dog tags in about an hour and a half of hunting. I am sure there are more. It is Seymour Johnson AFB which was very active during WW-II after all. The small button is a Civil War cuff button. You cannot see it well in the photo, but there is...
