    Biggest ring I ever found.....Twice !!!!!

    Great find and story Donna! I have only found one class ring while metal detecting, but was able to get it back it’s owner after being lost for 22 years. She had fallen on bad times and was very happy to get the ring back. She said she paid for it herself when she got it. Only other one I have...

    River find today....any ideas?

    I found this while detecting near an old ferry site today and was wondering what it may be part of. My first thought it part of an oil lamp. it is somewhat oval shaped, but may have been completely round at one time. There is also a slot running some along its lenth. Any ideas? Thanks for looking!

    Mangled Morgan, Walker and Barbers

    Amazing finds as usual Dave! Too bad about the mangled Morgan dollar. Sorry to hear of the loss of your parents…losing one is hard, but both within days apart had to be very difficult for you. Sounds like you have very fond of memories of both though which hopefully helps you cope at this...

    Flying eagle out of the heavy iron

    Great find!!!! They sure do not show up very often! I think they were only minted 2-3 years from 1856-1858 I believe, so your date should be in line with these dates. In 1853, large cents were still being minted.

    Looking To Buy Scoop

    If you are planning to detect in creeks and rivers, forget the scoop.. waste of time and money in my opinion. I started river detecting about three years ago and only use prospectors picks. Targets are normally not too deep, but impacted in gravel and rocks making a scoop useless. As far as...

    Found something different

    I was thinking a boot scraper too, but the ones I have seen are not iron, but some may have been.

    Old lock found yesterday....

    That is great that you are keeping them…👍👍 Saving little bits and pieces of history! I have found several old thimbles while metal detecting around old house sites…..they are either brass or copper, but unfortunately mashed.

    Old lock found yesterday....

    That I am not sure….i think it says Trailways Bus on it. I figured just hard plastic… It is very light, so most likely plastic.

    Old lock found yesterday....

    With the hot and dry conditions in my area, I have recently started water detecting for the year. Yesterday I searched in the river where an old ferry crossing was and found some modern coins, a silver ring, and this old pad lock. I researched the company and found that they were in business...

    Anyone know what numbers ring up on a flying eagle cent?

    Me too John…. The range on the 800 only goes up to 40 whereas the newer Equinox series goes up to 99….same as my XTerra Pro.

    Anyone know what numbers ring up on a flying eagle cent?

    I do not have the Manticore, but since no one else has replied yet, I decided to try to help you out. I have an 1858 Flying Eagle cent that my Dad found in change many years ago. I tested it with my XTerra Pro with the 5x8 coil on it and also checked it with my 800 with the 5x10 coiltek coil on...
