silver

Thanks everyone who has contributed their knowledge here. It has help me pull this quarter from about 5-6 inches in an old pounded park in Indy this morning. It gave me a clear 38 on the Minelab Quattro as I was griding a section of a field. The only other not trash finds were these two crusty...

Greetings all! I've spent a decent amount of time searching this forum, and have decided it's time to ask some questions to y'all who have been in the detecting game a while :) My neighbor recently learned that there was a guy who used to live at my house who made quite a bit of money...

To start this post off, I thought I should mention first what I found in December: 3 Boxes of Dimes: 1959 80% AG Canadian, :clap: &1964-D. :clap: 1 Box of Quarters: 2019-W Quarter. :D -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now for my 2019 Year End...

Here are all my hunts from November. :D I was really blessed this month with my finds, which included my first ever CRH Mercury dime, 2 different variety Canadian silvers, and even a roll with 3 silver coins! :shock: Total I searched just over 6 boxes of coins; below are my results: Dime Box...

I have not had much luck with gold, but this is my second silver ring I have found. If anyone knows what stone this is, I could use help identifying it and a value guess would be cool to have. (saving up for that Minelab Equinox 800).

Here are all my hunts from October. :D I was only able to CRH 2 weeks last month, but I was able to go through about 6 ½ boxes of coins; below are my results: Nickel Box #1: Norwegian 1 Krone. :D Nickel Box #2: No keepers. :( Dime Box #1: No silver. :( Dime Box #2: No silver. :( Dime Box...

Ok, here is the official government line: “If we had not done so, we would have risked chronic coin shortages in the very near future.” President Lyndon Johnson commented before Congress just prior to his signing the Coinage Act of 1965, the law which fundamentally changed the composition of...

Here are all my hunts from September. :D I was having really bad success with the N.F. Strings rolls, then, at the beginning of the month, they ordered a box of nickels from Loomis. I did really well and found 2 Buffs in high-grade condition, so I asked them if it would be a problem to start...

Here are all my hunts from July. :D I was specifically targeting dimes and unfortunately was onto a major skunk streak (and it didn't help that my order came in a week late once, too). :lol: I was at 6 skunk boxes of dimes in a row (continuing from the end of June) when I found a silver dime in...

Hi everyone! I started detecting back in March and about a week ago I (somehow) came across my first Morgan. Now after coming home and getting her in some water, I've found some green corrosion and a bit of tough black corrosion mainly on the heads side of the coin. Would you guys reccomend that...

Here are all my hunts from May. :D I searched through almost seven boxes of coins last month; below are my results: Penny Box #1: 1940, 1944 x2, 1945, 1947-S, 1950, & 1955-D x2. Penny Box #2: 1936, :clap: 1940, 1944, 1945, 1950-D, 1951-D x2, 1952, & 1956. Penny Box: #3: 1932-D, :clap: 1942...

Here are all my hunts from April. :D I looked through nickels, dimes, & halves, and I found my first buff FTY. Below are all my results: :D Nickel Box #1: 1925 Buffalo, :clap: 1943-P, :clap: & 2015 Spanish 5-Cent Euro. Nickel Box #2: 2000-S Proof nickel. :D Dime Box: No silver. :( $30 in...

My wife found this tonight with a Minelab equinox 800. Written or stamped in script on the side "Sterling Silver" very small no bigger than a dime. Any ideas??:?: Maybe a snuffer?

Here are all my hunts from March. :D It was a great month for me, I looked through nickels, dimes, quarters, & halves. My main credit union doesn't carry halves and charges a fee to order them, so once again I stopped at a secondary bank and asked for their customer wrapped halves. At first, she...

Howdy from South Texas! I was big into metal detecting when I was a teen back in the 90's, but took a very long break from it until this past winter when I got my hands on an Equinox 600 and dove right off the deep end into the metal detecting world! I am a video producer by day. Have been for...

Here are all my hunts from January. :D I had a lot of fun searching through a box each of pennies, nickels, & dimes, as well as a few extra rolls of pennies and some quarters. I'm only doing a couple rolls of quarters at time to slowly fill up my State & ATB coin folders. I found quite a few...

Greetings, dear MDF community, I unsuccesfully tried metal detecting only once yet so I am not familiar with all the related issues and I kindly ask You for help with my matter. The thing is that recently I lost my SILVER wedding RING while playing in the basketball court of my child's...

Here are my finds from the Coin Stars that I checked, plus a few were found on the ground, or in a pop machine change tray, etc. :D In the picture below, starting on the left is the US Clad I found, 43 coins equaling $2.89. I found my first CS silver in 2018, a 40% silver 1968-D half dollar...

Here is my wrap-up from 2018. Looking back, I had a pretty decent year CRHing, finding 10 silver coins, a buff, a lot of Wheaties, and 3 proofs! :woot: First pic is of my US keepers. Also, not pictured I found some 2009 nickels & dimes, plus some Bicentennial, State, & America The Beautiful...

Help! I am brand spanking new to this. I was doing yardwork, as usual, when I noticed my bracelet was gone. I wear several sterling silver bracelets at all times as in I NEVER take them off even at the airport. Well, apparently, this one got caught on a shrub branch. I think I know the vicinity...
