    Sometimes the best things that come from metal detecting are not our finds

    Here are a few of the finds that my 7 year old niece, 9 year old nephew and I made on my great grandparents property the last couple days. Not pictured is 27 wheat pennies and couple of barbers. While all of the finds we made were fantastic; nothing tops the birthday card she made for me today...

    Barbers and a button today.

    I've been detecting now for a year and a half and have been struggling to pull a silver quarter (getting teased by '65s) and have been wanting to get a Barber dime. Today was the day, I found a 1893 quarter and dime today. Also got a nice Great Seal button.

    Interestingly enough I found a pinata spill. All modern rosies but still entertaining.

    I was out today at a park very close to my house because I did not have much time and stumbled upon a mass of Roosevelt dimes scattered beneath a tree limb. As I kept digging dime after dime I started finding little pieces of confetti which leads me to believe there was a birthday party and a...

    1888 Indian today

    I got permission to hunt this old homesite but sorta got run off after an hour and a half. Turns out the gentlemen that lives on the land and has been there for 80 years technically isn't the property owner. He has been given right to continue to live there even though his niece inherited the...

    First silver of the year and my best coin spill find to date :smile:

    Went out in Richmond Va today to a house I got permission to hunt with the hopes of the neighborhood being close enough to Cold Harbor to find some civil war goodies. I didn't find any civil war relics this time but the home site was old enough to deliver some nice finds. I dug a 1954 dime and...

    First button of the year :thumbup:

    I got permission to hunt the yard around a house that was built in the 50s but it just so happens to be waterfront property with Fort Monroe across the water. I ended up finding a 7th regiment National Guard button with a D on the shield pretty early in the day. It would have been quite a ways...

    old home site delivers 2 firsts for me. An Indian and a Civ button

    Absolutely amazing hour of metal detecting. Was out shooting some guns and decided to bust out my metal detectors before I left. Found a brass reed from a harmonica, an old buckle, a .32 short revolver shell case, an 1895 Indian Head penny, and a Scovill Waterbury general service Eagle button...

    It's nice when you don't have to travel far

    [attachment 274461 rps20130916_204953.jpg]I got home tonight and checked my mail to find an advertisement from Minelab and that just made me want to take my ctx out for a few swings before dark. I recently changed my settings, so I headed into my backyard in hopes of finding maybe a coin or two...

    old boy scout camp delivers

    I absolutely plan to return to this site. The exciting thing is that this site is on private property that I got permission to and the grounds seem to have never been hit with a MD; I found all these targets in 2.5 hours. You'll see some miscellaneous items like the old shotgun shells, doorknob...

    Fisher F2 found a couple old boy scout neckerchief slides

    I was detecting an old school yard today and found these along a sidewalk that led to a playground from a church across the street. My guess would be after Cub scout meetings at the church the kids were allowed to go to the playground across the street and lost a couple neckerchief slides. Not...

    beginners luck

    Took my dad out on his first hunt today around my grandparents house. He was using my Fisher F2 with the sniper coil and his first find was this 1947 Wheat penny that somebody put inside of a piece of copper tube. The interesting thing about his first find is that his birth year is also 1947...

    Finally found the silver

    Recently purchased a Fisher F2 with a 4 inch sniper coil from my man Bart at Big Boys Hobbies and I finally got to take it out in my yard today after work. I found the 1944 wheat penny, 1947 Roosevelt dime, and 1943 Mercury dime in about an hour hunting some trashy areas that I suspected had...

    First ring I've ever found

    Found this behind my old elementary school around the old ball fields. The school dates back to the early 40s. It has a 14k marking inside the band but it is a cheap gold ring. It did not register as a trash target, which I'll dig when it falls into the gold category. Rather it rang up just...

    Fired pistol ball???

    OK, here is today's find. I'm not the expert on this so correct me if i'm wrong. I found this in the woods behind my parents house, the depth was between 7-8: inches coming all the way up to the hilt of my lesche digging tool. There are no documented civil war battles or skirmishes in my home...

    Learned something about my local lake today

    Went to a campground with a lake that's close by with the intentions of cleaning out the sand beach. The lake is man-made with an establishment date in the 1930s. I have visited the lake every summer for over 30 years and have witnessed gold wedding bands being lost in the lake 2 different...

    Awesome day in my yard

    I recently moved into a house I'm renting that was built in the 1950s. It's on a small .25 to .50 acre lot and there was a small skirmish during the civil war about 2 or 3 miles away. I got lucky enough to find a Sharpe's minie ball, a lead soldier made by dinky toys in Liverpool England, 6...
