Very cool! Very possible it was used in the 20mm Lahti, a WWll anti tank gun.

Hi all, I got out after work this morning for a few hours to the little park that I found the merc and Indian last time. This morning started slow, but I got onto a small area that I began to get some very deep iffy but repeatable signals. First few holes I popped some early wheats including a...

Hi all! I tried another small late 1800s park that apparently was pounded pretty hard. Its a tough place to detect because its loaded with bent nails, wire, etc. The first find took almost an hour, but started with a very nice 1945D Merc. Great to start with silver! Not too far away I got a...

Hi all, Sunday I was able to get out for a couple hours after work to hit the local beach one last time this year. Working the less popular end I had hoped to maybe find something good. Some clad turned up as did a couple junker rings. Monday was my big day out. The first site was an inland...

Found this at an 1850s homestead site. Has numbering/fraction scale along the notched slots. Stamped "AMS" in front of the first number. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Hi all, First hunt at an 1830s park didn't net anything old, but I did manage a surface silver ring. Another mid 1800s park didn't yield any keepers at all, but a nice shard of flow blue china gives hope there might be something left. It will be tough to get to though because of so much...

Found this at the old zoo about a foot down. The 2 pieces were near each other and are both lead. The disc looking piece is around silver dollar size. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Hi all, First off, I started last Friday morning at a small park. This is the one I posted about last time. Well, cleaning up the wheats and cataloging them I realized one of them was a possible rarity. Turns out that it probably is the 1944 D over S variety when I looked at it under the scope...

I got out this morning to a different park that I don't think was ever hunted before. Really it's not much more than a short narrow strip of land between the street and a steep embankment headed to the river. It dates to the 1880s so had hopes of some good old coins. Ended up with several wheats...

Hi all, Stopped off at the park I found the 1873 silver on my way back from my water hunting today. Didn't find a whole lot, just a later wheat, an old pocket knife, and a nice old silver band. It will look nice next to today's gold which is posted in the water hunting section. Sent from my...

Hi all, Got out to 5 different lakes today without much to show. The first one I had high hopes for but only found someone else detecting the water. Not even a penny there. Most of the lakes were the same. But, the 4th lake was the one I needed to hit. It was tough with a lot of natural iron...

Here's the pics after long careful cleaning:

Hi all, Out trying a new park and finding it loaded with iron and even some recent plugs from someone else detecting. But in between some square nails I got a repeatable 12-41. Dug down and around 6 to 7 inches I saw a tiny round bit. Think8ng it was probably another small brass washer I find...

Hi all, Started Friday morning at the virgin park site. Unfortunately it's really starting to dry up. I only managed a rusty cuff link, a dented button ( I think), a 37 wheat, and some odds and ends. Sunday I got out for a few hours at a couple old farm cellar holes I've been working. This...

No problem, here you go Noah! :rofl:

Made of copper, and no clue what it is. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Hi all, I was able to get back to this little park for a couple hours before work tonight. I had spotted another possible virgin area and gave it a try but it was just loaded with deep modern trash so is likely fill dirt. The area I've been working has tapered off with the good targets. Today...

Hi all, Went back to the park for about an hour before work, though I got stopped early because of rain and lightning. But, as I mentioned in the previous post I brought out the TDI to work the area I previously hit with the CTX using both the 11 and 17 inch coils. As I expected, it was just...

Well, I got back today for a couple hours and used the big 17"coil to try reaching the deeper stuff. Mostly I went over the area I already did with the 11" coil. Sure seemed to make a difference but had a hard time with seperation from the nails. This time I managed my first 1909 wheatie! No...
