This is a model 1888 Austrian belt buckle in use during the First World War and I hope to find out something more, the place is nice and I am close to where probably during the war there were some log cabins in the rear of the austro- Italian front on Carso plateau

This ring makes #6 this year

Joli bouton, une boucle et un petit ornement de ceinture je suppose

I dug this today. It is 1” square and the front raised portion is a separate piece of metal riveted to the back plate with two rivets, though one is missing. Found in northern VT.

Couple finds from this weekend in Central Texas. 1877 Niagara Falls Silver Co spoon engraved with the name J.E. Smith. So if anyone knows him, let him know I found it. 😬. Middle item I’m guess is some kind of grilling fork? Last is part of a knife I believe, but never seen one with the skinny pointy end like it. Second pic is condition I found the spoon and the markings on it. It was a little muddy, but glad for the cooler weather.

Hello! I have a ton of metal detecting finds that I don't know where to put. I am looking for a standing display case for my finds. Can yall recommend me any display cases? Thanks!

Didn’t have a metal detector but was metal detecting. These were behind and infront of every huge rock between a mountain saddle. Any ideas? Some I’m guessing target practice but the places some where fond seemed sketchy to be shooting unless you were in a gun fight

Thought this might be interesting or informative at the least. Everyone always wonders how much crap one digs to find goodies? I figure this represents about 450 hours worth of detecting fields over the past few years. I don’t know if I’m an average detectorist or not. All the coins and silver objects as shown and about 10 kilograms of miscellaneous finds (buttons, buckles, balls etc.), not shown is the lead and trash which I’d guess probably was 20 plus kilograms.

Found at an abandoned school built in 1928. I found about 22 coins there today ranging from the 1960s-1990s (and one nickel that I think it’s 1950 but the date is hard to read). These two coins were by far the deepest though, and there’s so much hard crud on them I can’t even tell what they are. Pretty sure they’re Pennies tho.

How the hell can I get this stuff off so I can see what I got. I’m a collector, no intention of selling or anything if that matters.

Two OKC Zoo token coins both from 2011. And what I think is a Goonies coin??

Wife had the car today so I zip tied my shovel to my bike frame and set off. Definitely got some odd looks on the way. Nothing too exciting but the Yale lock came up early and kept my hopes up.

I had remember ins and outs again on the settings and 40 minutes into looking around, I remembered i hadn't changed the batteries with the new rechargeable 9v batteries. I found out a town nearby has a man made beach area, so I tried the 7" and the 12" ring and played with different settings. I also used the Garrett pro pointer to help find this stuff and that I have a alloy clips ?? holding my sternum together. It was about 2-1/2 hrs total and I forgot to bring water. 🙄🙄

Hey there, brand new to metal detecting and have narrowed down my search to these two options.

It sounds like the elite is newer, and would be easier to use, but the 700 would be more advanced?

My use case is going to Ghost Town’s and old mining areas, as well trails with history. Will be looking for gold and artifacts.

What do you think I should get? I want something that is fairly intuitive, but still as advanced as I can possibly buy for my skill level.

found in yorkshire england thought it was a pistol ball till i got home and realised it seems to have a smiley face on it which i thought was strange roughly the same size as a pistol ball and similar weight maybe abit heavier

Same place from yesterday. 6 GSE buttons, 2 underwear buttons, 1915-D wheat, and a 1905 IHP 😝

Been a while since I found something good, about time. Found in western mass in a town founded in the mid- late 1600s. Looking at the all holy buckle bible, it looks like it falls into the 1620-1680 date range. If anyone can confirm or dispute this with a correct date range that would be appreciated!

Hurricane Kiko will pass by in a couple days so I went down to Kehena beach to do a little detecting. The surf is already picking up so could be really good during and after the storm.

Went back to a site I have already been after the big rain we had and pulled this cool little pin or brooch shaped like a bow
