    Since we are all frozen in and not much in the 'What's new' category, Thought I'd start a thread, 'What's some of your weirdest finds ??'

    I had about a dozen hash/pot/crack pipes I threw in with the copper recycling metal.

    Need help identifying this small horse shoe.

    That is a scotch bottom style of horse shoe that was developed for draft horses for various reasons from appearance to traction and cushioning on hard surfaces. The small size doesn't make much sense unless it was on a small pony or burro that was used to pull some kind of cart so the decoration...

    How many hours would you guess this coil has been used.

    I wouldn't go so far as saying it was "abused" but definitely saw a good deal of time over harsh terrain. Abuse kind of requires intent and I have one site that is an old dump with terrain that's very rough and it could produce a similar surface just from a lot of hours of regular use. That ebay...

    Coinstar finds today....

    I dump my zincs in the coinstar that gives back a "gift card" to the store of my choice , no premium. I usually run the rejects through twice and always leave the return overflowing with rejects and can imagine the kid taking them to a teller to buy chewing gum or some other form of candy.:)

    Nokta Legend V1.16 Ring Find Today.

    Silver sounds good; easy to confirm if 18k acid turns a streak to a white powder looking streak.

    Totlot wonder

    The fence was still down and the access Nazis are not around on Sunday morning so I made a trip back to cover the areas I left last weekend. No decent jewelry but did end up with a wheat and 5 Chucky Cheese tokens:)

    Totlot wonder

    For some reason that totlot has always been a good producer , doesn't see much detecting and is attached/attended by a day school so security keeps it pretty sequestered from everything but those who use it and they seem to be pretty careless with their change. (y)I have found very little...

    Totlot wonder

    I stumbled into a totlot that has been closed off to anything but kids and their parents for the last two years , fence was down and I only got through about half of it before my legs gave out;)

    Took the Legend plunge

    Did Andy actually buy one or just download the manual from the internet and add a few paragraphs to every section?

    Legend External Battery

    That was just about illiterate !:) I see they are about $90 so if you don't have one but do have a portable/backup power source/battery for other electronic items there is no reason you couldn't just band it to your Legend and plug the charging cord in to get you through a tough spot. A lot of...

    Legend External Battery

    I have used mine when I have forgotten to but a fresh charge in the internal battery just in case it was low. you hardly know it is there and appears to impart a charge to the internal battery when the internal is low. It may not be worth the cost if you never need it but like 4 wheel drive ...

    GOOD MERCY HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND THIS NUGGET

    The inflation calculator which only goes back to 1913 says that ~45k would be worth about 1.5 mil today but the ~2300 tr.oz. is nearly 5.5 mil at $2400

    Got a Question for all those old timers out there like me???

    I would say again that location is the key , research contributes largely to finding good locations just like a dependable vehicle contributes by getting there but bottom line is that 95% of the finds could be found by 95% of the detectors. The remaining 5% is probably operator efficiency. An...

    Coins - Coins - Coins; Going away?

    If there are not sites that are really old and lightly detected in your area , detecting is not worth either the equipment or the effort anymore and it is only going to get worse. There is no recharging for the clad hunter simply because it never gets to the parks and the same for jewelry. More...
