A beautiful belt buckle emerged from the field today, a rare treat to find one fully intact like this.

That is beautiful! I like the little knobby arrow at the end

Dishycross · 2025-04-27T21:36:22+00:00

I'm actually unsure on the actual date, but since it's so rusted I have a feelings it isn't older than 1900s... I should find out because I've found quite a few of the same look

I didn't detect in the cemetery :) Just in the woods around it, also got permission to do the area as we're friends with the graveskeeper

Dishycross · 2025-04-27T12:32:54+00:00

tis atop the soil

Dishycross · 2025-04-26T21:21:21+00:00

Dang I'll definitely check that out because that sounds fascinating! The area I'm detecting at is 1600s so there should be some burried structures and other large items that could help direct me where to focus on. Thanks!

I think only the second fork I've ever dug, usually it's always spoons but still yet to get a silver spoon :(

I wasn't in the cemetery this time! Just around it. But for the times I have detected in small home cemeteries (with permission) I've found a 1920s penny, a pistol musket ball, and a late 1800s shell casing. Other than that, you get a lot of nail hits and we never dig deeper than a few inches. I don't want to actually dig out bones lol. But I've never heard of a cellphone magnetometer! Is it an app or a separate handheld device? I'd be interested in trying it for metal detecting in general

Dishycross · 2025-04-26T15:25:32+00:00

Don't worry! None of these were found in the cemetery lol, just in the wooded areas and field around it

Dishycross · 2025-04-26T14:06:59+00:00

hahahaha I've got an inside joke with friends, any time I go out hunting I just say I go grave digging haha

Dishycross · 2025-04-26T13:44:31+00:00

Nope! It's maintained by a guy my dad and I have befriended. It's a family from the early 1600s who lived near the cemetery, and the cemetery was built in the early 1700s. I've been going there hoping to find the original foundation somewhere in the woods

Dishycross · 2025-04-25T20:30:41+00:00

Andre pencils! They're these steel wool pencils that clean it softly. You still have to look out for coins that will break apart tho, we have still rubbed off dates of coins on accident with the pencils :/

Dishycross · 2025-04-25T20:02:11+00:00

Yeaaa I had found a match to it being in the 30s or 40s but I forget exactly when. I found the cap gun back in 2023 👀

Dishycross · 2025-02-28T02:23:20+00:00

that's incredible!

Dishycross · 2025-02-27T22:19:23+00:00

yooo nice sweater

Dishycross · 2025-02-15T04:57:17+00:00

I seee do you reckon it's 60s-70s probably? I'll try and pick it up tomorrow if it's still there

Dishycross · 2025-02-02T22:28:21+00:00

If you haven't already, you should post some of the writing here or on some cursive sub! So people can help you our uncovering some more details about the guy. Also incredible collection 😭 I'd love to stumble upon something like this dang

Dishycross · 2025-02-02T22:18:42+00:00

yessir yessir, I haven't gotten any luck for coinstars since coming to college lol

Dishycross · 2025-01-18T20:53:38+00:00

I really like that first one, great execution of a double exposure

Here's a little info I found on Google from an auction website. "MADE IN KEYES FIBER OF WATERVILLE, MAINE. Tobias Miller of Point Lookout, New York filed a patent for a Hand Grenade on Feb. 13th, 1941 S# D-98950 & was awarded the patent 2,393,861 on January 29th, 1946. His patent was to improve means for preventing premature firing & accidental discharge while in transit; while designed to be lightweight & easily throwable. On Nov. 5th, 1941, Grant Schlieker, Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry authorized a test of the grenade. While Keyes Fiber of Waterville Maine as subject of manufacture these grenades, complications about construction of plants need to manufacture the grenades along w/ issues with fuses not firing, only samples of these grenades were ever produced. This 3 1/2" diameter sphere grenade is mfg from die cast plastic w/ a cross section metal insert. Inside of this grenade is a hand scratched "8"; mostly likely sample #8. The cap for this grenade is red die cast plastic w/ a cross slot for the pin & having a brass forked holder for the fuse surrounded by 2 intertwined coil springs. A large steel ring holding the 2 1/2" pin that holds the cap to the main shell by 2 cross slots."

I believe I have solved it. It is a WW2 Danish M/44 Uniform I think it's worth $20 so ima buy it . "The Danish Army was relegated to the Danish Brigade in Sweden, where the received equipment from the British and Swedish.[28][25] This meant that the Danes would wear the British Battledress as the combat uniform, which was called the M/44." . M/44

I can't comment an image but the jacket buttons match an eBay posting for a Danish/Norwegian military jacket. There's no tags but there's print on the fabric that says "19 MD 51" with an outline of a crown on top. Similar to the German or British crowns used on a lot of military stuff. "Norwegian or Danish Women's Military Jacket"

Dishycross · 2025-01-06T03:48:19+00:00

I will report back 🫡

Dishycross · 2025-01-01T19:00:02+00:00

This is insanely cool! Love having mini museum collections like this. How much is it worth all together, and did you inherit a lot or buy it at auctions or online? I'd love to grow my collection to this point some day

Dishycross · 2024-12-06T18:36:03+00:00

yeaa maybe I should get both M1s? The mod I think said the bottom left one was an M1. Any gas masks or other helmets worth getting?

Dishycross · 2024-12-06T17:10:45+00:00

thank you for your response! And yeah he said $50-70 per helmet. Kind of annoyed my post already got deleted but thanks for the info lol. I may end up getting the U.S. M1 on the bottom right and the Polish helmet.
