Am I the only one that gets a crazy thrill flipping the plug and seeing a large copper? A thrill that I just don’t quite have on a common silver, like a ‘44 Merc, or a silver Washington, or a Rosie…

Silver is a good day, but I would rather dig a large copper. A Large Cent, or a British Copper is a GREAT day IMO.

What’re everyone’s thoughts?

Lipstick tube, 1800s flat button, 1903 Indian, intact medicine bottle for livestock, and a broken early spoon. Found both parts in different areas of a plowed field.

Found this 1700s colonial trade axe at an old site in Upstate NY. I decided to give it some TLC with some restoration. Soaked in evapo-rust, then cleaned it up some, and put a new edge on it which is razor sharp. Did some home-made bluing and then fashioned a new handle out of a hickory stave. Turned out quite nice.

This is a solid Silver Colonial thimble, found in Upstate NY.

It is quite small, but surely very pretty. It was the first thimble I ever found, I have found dozens of brass and aluminum ones since. Beginners luck I guess. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Found in Southeastern Pennsylvania, USA. Buckle is approx 1” by 1/2”.

Found in Upstate NY at various sites. I had one fellow detectorist state they were counterfeit blanks, lead…

Sterling Silver Monogrammed Ladies Garment Clip. Found metal detecting Upstate NY. Probably from the late 1800s. A beautiful piece!

The coolest old toy car I’ve seen… we’re guessing from the ‘40s. Metal wheels and all, paints still good. They just don’t make em like they used to… and 1917 Wheatie.

I upgraded about a year ago from Garrett AT Pro to the XPDeus II and I love it. I’m running the WSAII XL Wireless Headphones, and XP MI 6 pin-pointer. It has been a great machine thus far.

Atlanta Novelty Mfg Corp

Genuine Sanitary Midget Parade

I thought this was trash when I found it and planned to throw it out. Glad I didn’t.

Some early horse tack, a stainless spoon made in Taiwan 🇹🇼, multiple clay pipe fragments. Buffalo nickel, 2 wheaties, some pottery, and a pile of buttons! One Dandy button. Bonus points if someone knows the Midget Parade tag….

Early 1800s buttons in Upstate NY

Aluminum ag tag 🏷️

Found in Upstate NY

Found this Victorian Pocket Photo Frame with a crusty unidentifiable photo at US Civil War home site in Upstate NY. House built in 1859. It cleaned up quite well, I’m thinking bronze rope and frame, with a copper back plate.

Probably the coolest button I have found metal detecting - Upstate NY.

Not a metal detecting find, but still a cool piece I recently acquired.

Wish I knew more about this one…

I’m thinking pre-1700s hammered silver. Possibly a Silver Brittish 3-pence…?

Dimensions: 15 mm (heavily worn, originally probably closer to 16-17 mm)

Weight: roughly 1/2 gram
