I am creating an album for my finds in 2014. I attempted to post more than 10 pictures. When I selected DONE, only 10 images were uploaded to my album. Question: is there a limit to number of images per album or have I done something incorrect? Thanks. Rob

Found this Lucky Charm yesterday. A very nice high tone. A solid 88 VDI with a V3i. Just right for a silver half dollar, and it's the right diameter for a half too. I was definately surprised to see gold in the hole. Maybe it qualifies me for some upcoming Good Luck. :crossfingers:

I found an international clad spill. It was located close to the river and it was swampy soil. The coins were very crusty. Once I determined they were clad, I used a brass bristle brush to clean them up enough to ID. Unfortunately with the exception of the Itilian Lira I still have not been able...

Here is an exxample of a tinkler from Ohio.

Hunting a 30 acre school yard , sports field complex. This area goes back to the early 60s. Found an area that was peppered with quarters. As you can see, "One of these things ain't like the others..." At first I thought it was going to be a quarter spill. How wrong I was.

Z118 you got me interested and I checked E-bay for this bottle. there is an identical bottle on E-bay . 1937 Water Bottle with tilt mechanism for dispensing water. These 5 gallon bottles go for $60. Thanks all for your help.

I was out in the wood today. Still looking for a cellar hole... I am beginning to believe the foundation went under water back in the 1950s. That was when the creek was dammed up to make a duck pond and wet land preserve. The hunt was not a total loss. While wandering around in the wood, I got...

I found this large bottle today. Looks like a 5 gallon bottle. I believe it is an Owens Illinois bottle. Above the I/O maker mark is the number 5250 and below is the number 5. No other apparent maker marks. Got any ideas? Age? Date of Mfg? What used for? Beer maybe?

A week or so ago I found this bracelet. Initialy I thought it was copper as it was somewhat pliable. Today after soaking in apple vinegar over night I was not sure what I had. After soaking I could see some golden reflections and I was wondering if it had been gold plate at one time. A little...

Lately I have spent a bunch of time searching the wood for an old homestead with not much luck. This evening I went to a soccer field to find something besides rust and beer cans. Found these two items this evening. Hopefully this gets me over my slump and back on track. :crossfingers: .925...

My wife has her degree in Business Management. She is a whiz with computer centered information management and web-site oriented advertisement. So from time to time I give her projects to do and she will do so much better than I could even dream of. I gave her a project. Creat me a flyer and...

I have three coils for use with my V3i. 4X6 shooter, the stock 10DD and the Super 300/12 inch coil. Most often I use the 10DD as it has good depth and the majority of my finds are less than 7 inch deep. I have picked up a Large Cent at 11 inch and have located spent 22 cartridges at 6-7 inch...

Yesterday evening I was hunting along a stream in a local park. As always I picked up some clad but I also found these two beauties. The coin is a Nickle-Copper blend. It is the size of a U.S. half dollar. It was about 7 inch deep in the muddy stream bank. It appears I clipped the wing of the...

A year or so ago this old feller told me about a hunting camp he would use in his younger days. He said it was an old camp when he was using it. Not much of a camp he said, just a glorified lean-to. I believe I have found it. Looks like some young adventurous types have expanded the old camp...

I knocked on a neighbors door yesterday. They live far enough down the street that we recognize each other but we had not been properly introduced before. Well we know each other now and I have permission to hunt their double wide lot. The coins and items below were found in the front yard. Once...

Well, Mother Nature gave her official notice this morning. We had our first frost of the season last night. Fall is my favorite season. :thumbsup02: Will not be long and I will be mulching maple leaves for my compost pile. My vegetable plants love maple leaf mulch.

Stopped by an old high school this evening for a little hunt. Found some clad of course and these two surprizes. I believe Saquaweia means "Bird Women".

I did some knocking on doors yesterday. Actually not a lot of knocking. No body home at first two homes but the third home was a winner. The home owner was more than happy to allow me access. The only thing the owner requested is that if I found anything that rivaled the lottery that we share...

I was out digging up some more iron relics out my back gate. There is nothing fancy about iron relics but it is good entertainment for me. Besides you never know... This was about four inch down. It was an interlocked jumble when unearthed and it confused me for a minute. As you can see it is...

Last year I found a stone wall. The wall runs down to a creek. I figured water and a boundry , there has gotta be an old residence somewhere about. I believe I found it. This area looks to have been a farm at one time. The wide flat farm field is now a Baseball field. Where the mowed grass...
