First all the bling... The ring with F on it is a Fendi ring and is gold plated brass BUT it sells online for $350! Seems ridiculous that a brass ring would go for that. Here is a pic of the good finds. Most came from Buffalo Beach. Lots of Rosies and some other nice older coins. The...

I am in disbelief at some of the things that I find sometimes. 2023 has been amazing with the trade silver earlier this spring and the gold rings I have found this summer. Now I think I have something perhaps even more fun. Last week I was at my cottage and on the last day (of course the LAST...

I found more gold at Buffalo Beach last night. It was a perfect evening...not many people and the water got glass smooth. It is a woman's 18K wedding band. There is a portion of an initial inside but I can't make it out. One of the War Niks and one of the Buffs I found at a near park...

I had a fantastic week of detecting local beaches! There are 3 beaches that I detected each day this week and it was a lot of fun. Below is a pic of all the junk jewelry I found this week. What is not seen is the amount of trash I also dug. There is a tungsten ring in there that I’m...

Below is a pic of my recent finds from some parks and a few area beaches. A little bit of everything. Yesterday evening I went to Buffalo Beach and I was very excited to see that the sand bars had moved drastically from last year. I now have (for the time being anyway) another 100 yards or...

Those are ear rings. Here are a few pics from that book showing these ear rings... The cross may have been worn as an earring or perhaps a necklace or on their clothing...I am not sure. It is strange to me that there is a hole at the bottom of the cross which means it would be upside down...

She was detecting about a step away from my Uncle's cottage (next door to our cottage) and found all this in one hole... All 1700's Era Trade Silver. She was pretty excited! They are silver but she is just leaving them "uncleaned" for now. I know I have shared this before but all of the...

Here are my finds from the last month. The 1916 merc is a Philly...one day maybe a D will show up.

I am so spoiled!

I am on a bit of a hot streak the last two days. I went to a park yesterday morning for a quick hunt and since no one was in the tot lot I thought I would swing through it. I have never found much in tot lots but the first signal was a bling jewelry so I thought I would stay in the lot for a...

For the past 5 years every time I go up to my cottage I find amazing relics and every year I seem to find more! Last week it was crazy! Crazy as in 68 pcs of silver crazy! and all from the 1700s to 1800! ...well maybe 1820's? Let's start with some War of 1812 era buttons. I visited a site...

Just a quick post here. The majority of the finds below were with my new Manticore. This is a fun machine and I am quickly learning it. I only have 15-20 hours on the Manticore so far and probably about the same with the Equinox 900. I would like to say that both the Manticore and the 900...

I ordered a Manticore months ago and it seems that Minelab is doing their typical crappy roll out so I went ahead and purchased a Nox 900 and it came in a few days ago. I have had just 2 hunts with it and the first was at a park that I do not visit very often but it does date back to around...

2022 was a great year for me. I was able to reach a couple milestones including finding career silver coin #1,000 and career Buff #200 and career War Nik #150. First are my 3 gold rings. All are 14k (1 white gold). Below are all my silvers from 2022. And then here are my old nickels...

After that horribly cold spell over Christmas it warmed nicely in my area and I managed to get out a few times and found a few silvers. Then I also got out on Jan 2 and was able to find some silver to start 2023 the right way. Overall I found a little bit of everything. The Buffalo came on...

I found most of these over the Thanksgiving weekend. The cold has set in so I pretty sure I am done for awhile. There is a foreign coin from Hungary...a 1 Kreuzer from 1891. The printing plate advertisement was found at a Buffalo beach. I reversed the picture so that you can read it with...

Below are some pics of a recent fairgrounds hunt where I found a couple Indians, 1898 V and an 1891 Canadian 5 cent silver or fishy. Also pictured are some finds from this past weekend at my favorite site in my home town in Ohio where I found a very nice 1907 S barber dime which is perhaps a...

Here are a couple pics of the last 3-4 hunts at Buffalo Beach. The only items that I did not find at that beach are 2 of the buffalo niks that I found at a park during my lunch break. Most of the jewelry is just junk but there is a sterling ring and sterling earring. Thanks for looking...

I am pretty sure I have mentioned on here that I grew up on a farm in central Ohio. Well as a kid my Dad would take me out arrowhead hunting in the Spring before crops were planted and in the Fall when we would till the fields. I have a decent collection but nothing compared to my Dad. He...

Well it happened. I found gold at Buffalo Beach! It is not very big but it was a beautiful site and a nice rush when I saw it in the scoop. I also found a couple buffs...1917 and 1928 and a 1947 silver rosie. There was once something attached to the top of the ring but it is gone now. It...
