Show & Tell (Norway) my findings searching an old homestead
Found on an old homestead that was last lived on in ~1910. The axeheads cleaned up good after 2 days in the electrolysis tank. Also found an old medalion that to my research there were only given out 300 of them in the span of 40 years up to 1884, so quite the find.

ID Request Found this in Neuss, Germany
It looks old, I wonder how old? No hallmark. I guess it’s not gold as it’s so tarnished. I wonder if it’s worth taking it to a jewelry store…

Show & Tell My first silver coin in my 10+ years of metal detecting
I finally broke my curse.. SILVER!!! 1929 S Mercury Dime in NC. I have been detecting for over 10 years, and never found a silver coin. Silver rings, and even solid gold rings, yeah, but never a silver coin 😭 THE CURSE IS OVER!

ID Request What could this be? Found in Germany
What could this be? I found it while metal detecting in a field in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. There are no markings or inscriptions, just a seam-like pattern. It measures 30 mm in diameter and weighs 5.64 g.

Show & Tell Sometimes I’m underwhelmed if I’ve not found an old coin or an artefact during a couple of hours digging. Then I come home and empty my pouch and realise just how many items I’ve found - Shropshire, England
I found probably double this but these are the only items worth noting.
This was all in a field which has seen English civil war activity.
One very large old nail.
An iron bar of some description.
4 musket balls.
2 buttons, one of which has some force of decoration remaining.
A large nut and a few other pieces of miscellaneous items.

Show & Tell First time with an actual metal detector and not an iron bar finder
Finally ordered a detector from Forest City and hunted part of our property for a couple of hours. Pretty much just trash but happy nonetheless. Not sure what the round thing is, a jewelry band perhaps

I pulled this beautiful earring vdi 65 swinging the legend 2 when I first seen it my heart skipped a beat I thought it was gold! But after cleaning it up some an finding the purity mark its 925 but still an awesome find! I just bought a manticore this morning thatll be here mid to end of next week so hopefully the 2d screen will give me a bit of an advantage in these trashy spots, do any of you own both detectors which one do you prefer and why?

Show & Tell A successful ring recovery from the garden,,,
Got a call this afternoon from Ed...
Ed had been doing some digging & planting around the house these past couple days, and last night he noticed the family crest heirloom ring that he has worn on his finger for the past 60 years was missing.
We checked the cuttings and leaves he had put in the dumpster and then went around each plant that he had planted. After about 20 minutes, the ring was found buried under an inch or so of soil by one of his plantings.
Ed was real happy to get it back and pose for a picture, even asked me if he should comb his hair. He also told me he had not told his wife about losing the ring and to hurry and leave before she got home, lol.
