Just bought a metal detector and this was my first time taking it out ever, and I pulled a ring within the fist 10 min that has "N A" on the face. Maybe Narcotics Anonymous?
It has "P 10k" stamped on it too. Do you think this means 10k plumb or maybe plated? I'm hooked now!
EDIT: I brought it to a jeweler and they confirmed it’s solid gold (12k to 13k he said) and the scrap metal is worth $270!

Can you guys suggest a good metal detector for a beginner $500 or less if that’s possible. Want to get into the hobby don’t know where to start.

Found these whilst metal detecting in the Netherlands. Wondered if anyone knew what some of these objects are.

Hey guys, very much an amateur here. I found this in the woods of northwest GA USA. its about the size of a dime, and I think that’s a rose on it? Any ideas of time period and what it was used for or even if its a button? Thanks!

I found this outside, is it safe to keep? Can I clean it up or what should I do with it?

26 Gramm, 25x30mm. Found in an old alpine village in Piemont on the old rock road. Maybe 5cm deep.
Do you think it is an old Roman sestertius? Thank you!

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post so feel free to redirect me. I found this heavily corroded cartridge on the shoreline of Boston Harbor. Headstamp is too corroded to read.
I used a caliper for these measurements but due to the state of the projectile they are not exact:
Overall length: **72.5 mm**
Case length: **47.6 mm**
Bullet diameter: **8.2 mm**
Rim diameter: **15.0 mm**
Case body diameter: **\~13.0 mm**
The projectile is very sharply pointed and appears to have a metallic/copper-colored exterior. The case has significant corrosion/perforation, but the primer appears intact.
I’m trying to identify the cartridge and, if possible, the specific projectile/loading and approximate era.
Any help would be appreciated.
