Do any of you keep same things dug over time? Don't know why but I started keeping angels in a box over the last 30 years. Dont know what I will ever do with them but it's kinda neat. I have several collections like this. What about you all ? steve in so az

Some of the oddball things we dig make the hobby more interesting. Today I dug 37 coins, none old. But I did get these two uusual items. The token says Doctor Drake's cough syrup. Both sides have a lot of wording. The copper plated item on the right appears to be a lid/cap for a knife or...

Dug a huge ring today - also a bling cross. Got 72 coins in all, starting to get hot - 110 this afternoon. I quit when it was a mere 93, Steve in so az

Heavymetalnut's post below about his thimble find reminded me of something I almost threw out. Some years ago I had been hunting an old fort for a couple years, had dug all the troop unit & company's insigna except for the C. I dug what looked like a bent up pull tab & threw it into my junk...

this morning when this big ring popped up. But not to be as it's junk metal. I did get the 1957 Roosevelt dime, 3 wheats & 51 coins so I'm happy. Here's the take - neat old all purpose military truck and another socket for my tool set., Steve in so az

Dug yet another bogus gold item. The ring is clearly stamped 14K but failed my acid test. Not surprised as it looks a little brassy or such. I'm getting quite a collection of bogus gold items. The half dollar was huge, popping up in the sand . The ear ring is sterling. Here's the take for...

Spent most of the day in parks digging it all. Got a bunch of coins , none old but I did get a perfectly conditioned 10 K setting with a nice opal in it. Also got the US dollar coin. Good luck to all going out this weekend - that is unless the world ends as predicted :) steve in so az

Got out to some parks early,stayed a long time (5 hours) and got about 150 coins, one gold and 2 silver items. The 2 items at the top are car wash tokens.Here's the take. The ring is stamped 10K - looked for the stone but no luck. The ear ring and square thingy tested out as silver. I also...

Got out this morning to a few sites I have not been to in some time, dug 75 coins, 2 cars & a m/c, 3 junk rings, silver ring & a gold pendant. The gold pendant tested out as gold just less than 10 K - maybe European 8 K. It's fairly heavy also & not magnetic. The ring is stamped 925 and has a...

Got out today early, hit some sites, dug a bunch of clad, got 5-6 wheats, a silver Roos dime, the frequent loaded bullet and a 10K ring. The ring is Black Hills gold & spells out Love, the dime is 1958, the digger is all done in - too much hard dirt digging - but fun :( Steve in so az

So I'm reading a book about mid American states in the late 1800's & early 1900's. And this startling fact pops up ! All those long gone villages, towns, etc. - are you all checking into this ? It seems like there should be one for every 10-20 miles in most states. Go to a library, find the...

Hit a few sites, dug about 100 coins, 5-6 wheats and a 24 inch silver necklace. Also got a Catholic piece that looks like silver but does not test as such. The top right item is hard to tell what it is - have to check it out yet. The thing next to it is a screw on light. Here's the front -...

A friend, Mike, from Chicago is visiting a few days and we went to a couple houses today and detected them, had a good time, each dug silver & a bunch of coins. Here's Mike's take. And here's my take. The round object to the left of the heart shape is a pendant with writing -have to clean and...

Fortunately it had a wire finding on it :) The edge of the tooth is like a razor. Also got 62 coins, a bunch of jewelry, none precious and the omnipresent live round. Steve in so az

This morning my wife & I took off for a few small towns about an hour from us. She came along for a little R n R. We spent the day at them, ate some great Mexican food for lunch & got home in time for the NBA game. Here's the take, 154 coins, 1 wheat and 1 silver dime. I got the silver way under...

I think there's so many people detecting that I am getting a lot of what they miss. The majority of finds anymore are deep, cruddy and lots of nickels. Here's todays finds - 96 coins, with 21 being nickels & quite a few dimes that were deep. No jewelry but lots o coins. Dug a lot of trash also...

but nothing precious. Guess the economy has kids buying cheapo stuff yet. Great day for coins though - all from a few schools. Steve in so az

Got out early to beat the heat - hit some schools that I rarely go to. Dug about 65 coins, bunch of junk jewelry and one gold item. Unfortunately, the necklace is not gold. When I dug it I touched a magnet that I had dug also to it and it glommed right on. But the center ear ring is 10 K -...
