Medal Detecting Bucket List

[David-Edmonton]

What would be your top FIVE items you'd like to find as a goal while metal detecting - things you can scratch off the list as found?

As for myself- since I have an AT Gold then I'd want to find my first gold nugget (a tweezer find at least)

The other four items would be:
- a brass skeleton key (always wanted one)
- gold coin
- diamond ring
- a buried container containing coins and/or random items

1. Any piece of jewelry stamped "Tiffany & Co."

2. A gold coin of any kind.

3. A Spanish cob

4. A Confederate belt buckle.

5. An 18th or early 19th century presidential campaign token.

Interesting list. I would have to travel in order to have any chance to find most on that list. As for myself, if I could find a diamond ring even if it were for someone else on request then that would still count.

Anything that is'nt scrap.I still get a buzz even if I find a modern coin......just love finding anything really.

The #1 on my bucket list is a gold coin. Have never dug an old nickle, not even a buff. So old nickle is #2 on the list. #3 would be a silver half. I'm hunting some really good colonial sites so anything is possible. Joe.

It would be nice to find a silver half. It would be rare to find one out here.

#10. multipe silver coins in 1 day... so far I have found in 25 years of detecting about 5 silver coins. I hardly go to old sites....
# 9. a nugget larger than a small picker.
# 8. a gold chain/bracelet that would fit a person of size and not an infant.
# 7 . Ring with multiple precious stones that are real.
# 6 . any platminum ring
# 5 Tiffiny and company item that is NOT a forgery.(found a ring last year but it was an imitation.
# 4 Indian head penny that actually can be read. I've found 2 both were a total washout in being able to tell what year or such.
# 3 steel penny.
# 2 Walking liberty half
# 1 Gold coin any value...
