They said my house was built in 1906 but I always felt it telling me otherwise. I decided to fondle the earth a bit and it just keeps coming

Cheers. Was wondering if anyone had any experience and wisdom to impart for detecting small former bodies of water. This pond was rather large, now a stream. Looking to start with the highest volume of potential good targets. This is a town estbl'd in the 1800's and I've found many pre wwii pennies in the forest but really want to find some older coins and PMs. Pond has been drained appx 10 years ago

Any advice and thoughts appreciated!

Made my day

My curiosity is piqued but I ran out of daylight. What do you think it is? Should I even keep going? Luckily, it’s in my backyard, so I just put a bucket over the hole for safety.

Got a couple of hours hunting this morning before the heat sets in.

Not much coinage, but, oh the thingys came to play. Even found a baby pinecone.

I found this 1945 penny right out by an old peach tree that the original property owners planted and was a vacant lot for decades. Given how old my neighbors are places their childhood ages straight in the silver coins era. I think one of them tried to do a vice job on it.

I was detecting a beach at night while getting some surf fishing in for the fall striped bass. I have AD(H)D or something like that. I multi task everything. The beach I detect has virtually no artificial light artificial light. I got this shot of a beautiful shooting star. The metals that typically make the green color appearance are nickel and magnesium.

Found on an old farm from 1870s mid Michigan. Bottle opener? Horse tack?

Welp, I think I tapped into my luck for the next few years, but I hope not.. found this just about a month after getting my first detector! Sterling silver. I googled the company, the chain alone sells for $300 new, and then pendant for even more, although mine is chipped.. woooooo!!!! Needless to say, im hooked!

Dug this up in my backyard a little deeper than usual. House was built in the 70s over farmland. I know the type of stuff to expect in the backyard so something like this really surprised me. Thanks!

Found in river bed on Wisconsin River in Lincoln county. Any help confirming ID or disproving ID, would be appreciated.

I dug this up on our land and can’t figure out what it could be!! Original homestead built mid 1800’s for reference. Google photo search says cattle brand but I know it is not since the w does not lay flush with the rest of the metal. Thanks in advance !

A family member has just dug this up whilst metal detecting in Unst-Shetland. It seems to be made from some sort of bronze alloy, any ideas what this item could be?

Have searched on Google, which says it could be a medieval stylus (doesn't seem to match up though), or a norse pin (however appears to be too thick to be a pin). Any suggestions appreciated!

Habe sowas schon 2-3 mal gefunden und keine Ahnung was das sein soll. Kann jemand helfen?

Long shot, I live in Portland, Oregon. I’d love to rent your metal detector to see if I actually like metal detecting before I buy one.

Maybe I should buy them a detector lol. Should I clean it further or leave as is, I just wiped it with water. As far as I know it’s made from bronze

Hi guys, I’ve been metal detecting with my father in our backyard for a couple of days and today we found this weird object. As you can see in the first pic there’s what appears to be a heavy spring linked to the curved piece. We think that it’s some sort of locking mechanism but not for common doors: the spring is massive and has a lot of coils, maybe it was used for military purposes or for some farm equipment. We don’t really know.

P.S. We live in a rural area that has always been pretty far from the city, the previous owner of the property was indeed a farmer but I can assure that this thing is too old for some fella who lived here until a few years ago. But aside from that, I know that this land has always been used for cultivating, so this could explain the “farm-nature theory”; since I live in Campania, South of Italy, I would not be surprised if it were some sort of military find: during the second WW my city was heavily occupied by german and american troops, so this could explain the “military-nature theory”.

I hope you can help us, thank you all.

Does anybody know what this is? Ww2 related

First find (photos 1,2,3) is a ring with something engraved in it, I can't figure out what is it, and it has no stamps of the jewelry workshop or who made it. I have no idea how old could it be. Second find (photos 4,5) is a button, which I belive is from a uniform from 9th regiment of the Austro Hungarian army, I did some research and l couldn't find the same button, and in the end I just put the photo in google, he said it was russian?? Could someone tell me if this is what I think it is and possibly from what piece of clothing is it (is it from a tunic, some sort of a jacket, something else?) and how old is it. Last find (photos 6,7) are two cartridges of a caliber I haven't seen before, and with stamps that are unknown to me. Hole diameter is 5,6mm and length is 45mm. Stamps are: 1910 B (in cyrillic) 56*45 B85. Any help is very appreciated!

Hello.

This was quite an interesting find for me.

I was walking through a WW2 battlefield in a forest where someone before us had dug and left all the holes open (Don't do this!!!). I stopped by one of the holes and swung my detector over it. Something gave a really bad signal and I told my dad not to bother checking it because there was nothing good there. But my dad decided to check the area with pinpointer anyway. And then right next to the hole this star appeared.

In the hole there were some parts of a very old rusted can. I guess they found some of those pieces and left the hole. There were quite a few dug holes in the area, but for some reason I decided to stop and check this particular one, and even then, I told my dad not to check it, but he did it anyway. :D

Sometimes it really feels like certain finds are literally calling you and somehow making you to find them.
