    Forgotten picnic ground update

    Since my first post have made a number of trips back to the old picnic grounds. Several weeks ago took about 5 hours to find these 2, 1920 wheat backs, a 1925 buffalo nickle, a 1920 mercury dime and two barber dimes, 1898 and 1907.Not shown, a couple modern nickles. Decided to only slightly...

    Forgotten picnic ground coins

    Probably took 10 hours and several days to snag these at a well hunted picnic grounds in the woods. The lucky thing was the three IHs were all in one hole. (1888, 1893,1903). The nickels, a V and a Buffalo, were both no dates. The dimes 1936 and 1917s. The Ugly Knife as i call it, is well...

    idea on origin of this imagery?

    Found this, posted it on Today Finds, any experts out there on such imagery, or do you think it adorned a piece of furniture or something. What i dont get is the round projections under the chin, are they curls, a collar, ?

    Cool Face in the River

    Used the FA mode to find this today on a gravel bar in the lower than usual river here. Thats not a nail hole near the top so i dont know if this was tack welded onto something or what, although i dont see evidence of that either. It is fairly hefty and steel i think. I wonder if those kind of...

    FA mode, no joke

    So i hit this stretch of shoreline on the river, we have absolutely hammered it before; using just the FA got an IH, a V nickle, a w-back, a childs ring, 3 old buttons, some clad and part of an old pocket knife. When i first tried FA months ago i thought thats exactly where this mode might be...

    been using the detecting buddy

    got a detecting buddy about a month ago. I like the two part component making for a quick connect and disconnect with the metal detector. Rather than putting my left arm through the hoop I found it preferable to thread my belt through the hoop designated for your arm to go through. I thread it...

    Never hurts to ask

    so heading home from upstate NY i stop at a garage sale. The house, well maintained, was 1870s according to the owner, and it had a for sale sign on it. I jokingly said i metal detect do you want me to go over it, and he says yes and the house next store also 1870s. It was my mothers and its for...

    F75ltd, yes tried the FA mode!

    Junky newer fairground. Although i wasnt tightly griding, switching the machine to FA mode, to see what would happen, i went over some areas i had just searched . I was very surprised at all the coins i had missed, they must of been masked by all the junk sounding off. Now they were all clad and...

Oh and no poison ivy as i already have that going on my forearms the last few weeks. I like to get to the woods early pregrowth for finding new foundations and stuff later...

    What kind of button is this?

    found this at old farm, in good shape. Waterbury Button Co, two piece, with cotter pin through islet in back. Do you think it is for a service group or just a family name beginning with the letter "S".? Is that a funeral urn in the center? Input appreciated, thanks CO

    Old Farm House Gives up Silver and More

    The last few days and one of those hunts you hope never ends. Wife works with lady who lives in Old farm house. I found it on an 1866 map. Im not complaining, had a blast, but near as i could tell a lot of drainage work was done. The oldest coins here where almost all found in one half of the...

    75 camo upgrade and 2 IH's

    been out a couple of times with my upgraded old camo ltd. I really think it is more stable and the signals seem to have greater clarity. I took it to a patch we figured had a telecommunication cable under it and previously couldnt detect at all and lo it was quite. Nothing spectacular found but...

    FA ?

    oh boy 45 degrees, i was able to find a spot to check out some things on my recently returned upgraded machine. Near as i can tell the air test depths are close to what others report, although on the clad quarter I am finding 13" difficult (although i know things get more faint with distance and...

    What application was this counting device used in?

    found this at a church sale. The little tab on the horizontal member progresses along the grooves as the darker inner disk is rotated-leading to a count progression. Smells oily like an automotive garage. Has a hook to hang it on the back. It is about 8 inches across. Anybody seen one of these...

    Whats it, a fireplace gas key?

    found this in the ground, very heavy and 3/8 inch thick. Rusted area near bottom appears to be where a cotter pin maybe went through. i was only half thinking a key for a fireplace gas supply? Why the cotter pin then? thanks, CO

    is the ma ma intended?

    Folks, i got my machine back. Fisher was very kind in replacing a bunch of parts on it probably practically rebuilding it. It has the ma ma in disc though, in which i usually hunt. I have a friend who uses a different brand machine and i hear him ma maing all the time when pinpointing. I mean is...
