    Yesterdays finds. All pre 1950s!

    Today I went back to a spot where there were houses on my 1861 and 1874 maps which are no longer there. I have known about this place for years now and have done a little bit of detecting but mostly antique bottle digging. This time I went a little further back from one of the foundations in...

    Warranty Question

    I have a little problem here with my 550. Over the summer some water found its way into my battery case and rusted out one of the connectors. I drilled a hole thought the piece that fell off and then reattached it with a piece of wire. Is this still good under the warranty or won

    I have been tricked!

    I went to an old foundation in the woods that I located on my 1874 map the other day even with 4 inches of snow left on the ground here in Central, PA. After about a half hour of finding mostly iron relics (nothing worth saving) I herd a large ding in my head phones that came up under the dime...

    Detecting near power lines

    I was reading a post in one of the Minilab forums and it said that detecting under power lines or over buried ones can make your machine go haywire. This is hard to believe because the wires are wrapped in rubber and are so far away. Has anyone herd of this before? ~~Tom

    Dug a real gun today!

    Ok, this is a really strange find I dug today. My friend and I were digging an outhouse when he tossed this hunk of rust up to me to be set aside with all of the bricks and rocks we dug . I saw some green in it so I chipped the rust away and saw an old pocket watch with a glass cover! When we...

    Coins Found On My Property

    Here is a picture of all of the coins that I have found of my property for as long as I have lived here. Most were found with my Gerrett 550 but some were found when tearing up the floors and under window sills. All of the coins are pre 1959 and include a few silver dimes and a quarter. In the...

    Dug a wheat cent sitting on its edge

    I was detecting at a Boy Scout Camp that has been heavily hunted. I went there hoping to find some older coins which I have never found at that location before. After two hours I ended up with over $4 in clad and two wheat pennies, 1944 and 1950. Just about every clad coin I found was above...

    Cameo And Nice Buttons Found

    Well, here are some of my recent finds that are not coins. I have found a few buttons and a very nice cameo which I think is made out of lava rock. It depicts a man and woman dancing on it. The top left button in the first picture has an eagle on it and says SCOVILL MFG. CO. WATERBURY on the...

    Detecting in Cemeteries?

    Hello, I just recently got a Garrett detector and have been going around to old foundations in the woods and ball fields to find coins. I am looking for some new places and I was wondering if you are allowed to detect in graveyards or cemeteries? Thanks, Tom
