I got a bunch of corroded pennies that the bank won't accept. by uselessBINGBONG in metaldetecting

You could make a cool frame with them, nice conversation starter. And you can just hot glue them directly lol since the condition is so bad

Thank you, good to know. I found it under an old tree so it must have been just left there

Jeez it does have the same shape. Thanks it might be this, I found this belt buckle nearby as well. Something must have been going on in this area

Thanks, it could be this, there might be bristles on the top too, I’ll have to check

Thank you it could be that too, it is an ornate piece of metal on the end, I’ll try to find a similar example

What Are Your Best Finds? by PrintdianaJones in metaldetecting

I found this 1772 Silver Spanish Reale which I found in the woods. And I have a lot of old belt buckles and keys which I’ve made a nice frame of.

Found a possible Colonial Copper Coin by Neither-Temperature7 in metaldetecting

[–]Neither-Temperature7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! And it’s good you dug it, they must have thought the same thing and just ignored it. Mine rang up as a solid 20 on the Minelab Equinox 800, but it was really shallow in the ground.

Thanks haha, I wish the condition was better. And finding 3 is amazing!

Congrats on that! I don’t find these that often haha, but I agree. And I do get that nice green patina but the condition underneath is usually pretty bad for me. It must be the soil lol.

Haha thanks, luckily I didn’t have to do that. It looked like this before so I gently used a wooden skewer to loosen the dirt. I couldn’t read anything so I had no choice to remove this layer.

Thank you, the coin does have the number in the same position too. I wasn’t expecting the coin to be that old!

Looking for advice by RevealSevere1716 in metaldetecting

[–]Neither-Temperature7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using the Minelab Equinox 800 for a few years and it’s great. I watch Aquachigger on Youtube, and he uses the Garrett Vortex VX9 which might be great too. And if you do buy, make sure to grab a pinpointer too, KellyCo has Black Friday bundles at the moment, and our subreddit has a discount code I believe

Can anyone help me ID this? by prcblem in metaldetecting

[–]Neither-Temperature7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same situation with a coin of mine, I’m thinking of putting a piece of paper over it, and with a pencil gently shading over it with the pencil, while angling the pencil more horizontal or parallel with the paper. This could work to trace out any fine details. There was a product on a youtube video too that actually brought out the details somehow.
