    More PCB Finds

    It's been a banner three days at Panama City Beach. Yesterday I found a fund a gold cuff link with diamond chips and a gold ring with a large blue stone (aquamarine? sapphire?) with 16 diamonds, both in the surf. This is the best salt water hunting I've ever had.

    Gold Ring at Beach

    I've been detecting ocean beaches for a couple years now since buying my Whites Surfmaster PI. Had lots of fun at beaches in Oregon, Washington, the Carolinas and Florida but hadn't found anything very valuable in salt water. Just found this gold band with 12 diamonds at Panama City Beach, FL...

    Art Deco Object?

    I found this object in the front yard of my daughter's house in Ohio. The house dates from WWI. The object is brass or bronze and is 1 1/4" x 2 1/4". I first thought it might be jewelry but then thought that maybe it was a clasp for a lady's pocket book. Is the design possibly a logo? Has anyone...

    Drought Ended

    Hi, I’m traveling full time now in an RV with my wife and Red Dog. Been detecting at a park in So. Arizona. Found a 2014 high school ladies class ring. Besides the blue center stone it has two small diamonds on opposite sides of the ring. They're real - I tested them. I can’t tell by the marks...

    Metal Composition of Ring

    I found this ring a few days ago. It has a large "PL" inside but no other marks. When I first dug it I thought it was platinum but after looking online for platinum marks the common ones are "Pt", "Plat" or "Platinum." I found nothing authoritative indicating that "PL" meant platinum. Does...

    2nd Ring of 2015

    Found this last week at one of my favorite soccer field complexes. With some record breaking warm temperatures in northern Utah, I was able to get out more than I usually do in January. Most of the ground is thawed although there are still a few frozen spots. This ring showed a steady 49 on...

    Batman

    After nearly three weeks of snow and/or sub-zero temperatures I've been going batty with cabin fever. Today a nice thaw started so I headed to a nearby park to try my luck where there were unfrozen patches. The bat was an eyeball find that blended in with the leaves and acacia tree seed pods...

    Memorial Day (belated)

    These photos are from May 24th. I got to celebrate my birthday a day early with a long handle sand scoop my wife gave me. My favorite and only beach in the area was being torn up for improvements so I only got to use the scoop for about an hour for a haul of 31 cents. I moved on to a soccer...

    Canadian Treasure Hunting

    Maybe my Canadian friends can help me out - I will be traveling to the Invermere, B.C. area in a couple of months from Utah. Are provincial parks off limits to metal detecting? What about roadside rest areas and city parks? Are most lakes OK for metal detecting? Any tips for staying out of...

    Had a Great Yen for Rings

    Yesterday I returned to a park that I first tried on my birthday last week. On my BD I was there for seven hours and found 84 coins including a recent Columbian 100 Peso, a kid

    Littlest Ring I Ever Seen

    Found at schoolyard: USN silver charm ring made Crest Craft. They specialize in military jewelry. Also, an enameled macaw pin. The ring made a barely readable signal in the low 70s VDI, at 6 inches. I almost passed over it thinking I was hearing things. [attachment 232086...

    A Couple of Firsts for Me

    Friday was a banner day. Besides being a perfect spring day weather-wise, practically every target I dug was a goodie and there were lots of them. I went to a park that I started hunting in late February. The area around the park is all new developments, stores and houses built within the...

    Thunderbolt "P"s

    [attachment 230288 doublePcrp.jpg] Found the thunderbolt P pendant on the right at a park that used to be a mink farm. I've found a few 1930's pennies there plus lots of junk from the mink farm. The park is 1970's era. The "P" pendant on the left I found at an elementary school three miles...

    First Ring of 2012

    After the thaw last weekend the ground froze solid again until last night. I decided it was time to take the ATP out for walk after work. The top three inches of soil were soft but below that was like cement. Besides a handful of pennies, I found this silver and turquoise ring, some mystery...

    Little Dee Dee

    The soil decided to thaw out again, enough to metal detect in the afternoons, so I went to a trashy picnic area that I had checked about six weeks ago with the 8.5x11 DD coil. Using the 5x8 DD today, over a previously searched area of about 700 square feet, I found two quarters, six dimes...

    Maiden Voyage

    December 30, 2011 The ground here in my part of Utah had been frozen for the past three weeks until a warm rain came yesterday and started a thaw. I got a chance to use my new 5x8 coil that I got for Christmas. I went to a park that has been hammered, including by yours truly, and went to a...
