I havent been on the forum for more about 3 weeks. i've been digging and water hunting, just not posting beyond a couple of facebook groups I'm in. I know I've missed many good finds posted here. I should post in the todays finds forum cause I'm using a couple to a few different detectors all the time. The thing is I like to talk and read about the nuances of each detector and I get more of it on the detector specific forums.
Below are a 1940's-50's trench lighter made in Detroit, a silver was nickel, .38 special bullet and ladies compact. I'm gently trying to get some penetrating oil into the seam of the lighter to get it to loosen over time. Small religious medal, nothing special - aluminum.forgive my spelling, i'm not really checking anything except my images. trying to get ready to go detecting a few hours toady. the diamond jubilee Boy Scout medal was a banger and found in a place we pull coppers from. and not ro be disappointed I got KG III it seems like an underweight contemporary counterfeit, I'll have to check more on that hunch. Next is a sweet water hunt with a huge bonus. The native american point blew me away. I spent 8 plus hours two days before that detecting in fields with my V3i that is famous for these and only got 1 silver and (1 antique) gold rings (ok LOL). Im going to put those rings you dont see here up soon on one of the boards. The ATP pulled this older gold band from an area my Excal nulls really bad, i knew there was stuff mixed in with the iron and the ATPro made it easier to pick it out.Religious medals, and small jewelry items made of base metals are really common finds there. sorry I didnt rotate the photo. 3.9 DWT or 6.1 grams of 14K. there is a silver dime in there too. I wnet back back the next day and kicked it really good with one of my regular water units in a less junky area in neck deep water, pulling 7 silver coins and a couple religious medals, one is .925. I'm going to wear duofold long underwear under my 5mil wet suit the next time and 3mil neoprene socks under my 5mil dive boots. That lake water is so cold now. Maybe I'll post it all up later on todays finds. I got to get out hunting now.
 
Beautiful hunts; really cool! WTG!

Great assortment of finds, YTCS. I was watching some youtube videos about wetsuits and never dreamed they were so hard to get on and off and the zipper was in the back. That's going to be rough in the river with no bathroom breaks. The water is getting cold here in the Southeast, but I know it doesn't get as cold as it does in other parts of the USA and Canada. Looking forward to starting my basic dive class November 5 and hitting the water as soon as possible. I wish there was someone around my area that sold the Neosports boots I want, but the closest dive shop went out of business. I sure want to try them on before I buy a pair. GL & HH.
 
If you get certified that will open up a whole new world of hunting. I just use the wet suits for wading up to my neck with my waterproof detectors and a long handled scoop. My wet suits came from a discount retailer in the northeast. I paid no more than about $30 - $35. One is 3 mil for warmer water the other is 5 mil and I'll put duofold underwear under the 5 mil and an additional 3mil neoprene sock under my 5 mil boots. Look on eBay for the boots, the Get Wet Store is where I got my latest pair. The water is cold here already but I plan on hitting it once or twice more in my wet suit, after that insulated waders with neoprene socks under. The wet suit allows more freedom and I'm a good swimmer if I have problem in deeper water. I'm working an area I'd love to be able to dive on, it just loaded and I get real frustrated hearing signals beyond reach. This kind of detecting takes some dedication, perpetration and will in cold water. I hate the cold! Good luck to you!

Nice heavy ring!:clapping: Wondered where you have been, figured you were cramming to beat the weather. We have had cold big surf for a week straight, as soon as it calms down, I'll hit the water again.

Yeah mud, I've been trying to cram and there's more than I posted in this forum. More, gold and silver, silver coins and a couple oddball keepers. I tend to post specific finds the respective detector specific forums. This week alone I did time with Whites, Minelab and Garrett for the different sites I was in...gear junky - yeah - I love it.
I've also been dealing with family matters including elder care issues so my detecting time is special. I also miss the friendly characters here. Here's one I haven't put on Findmall yet that I'm having repaired and sized for me. My jeweler actually got exited when I showed him due to the age and hand engraving. According to the hallmark it's 1887 - 1912. The stone is either jade or mossy agate. It was a good day Oct. 19.
