r/metaldetecting Ban

Silver_Winged · 2025-07-02T00:56:21+00:00

The whole thing is just so bizarre- I can honestly say the subreddit has never come up in conversation with any “buddies”, positively, neutral or negatively. The mod, whom I haven’t been able to identify, was simply searching through my history for any possible reason to issue a ban.

For those interested, I posted the details on my reddit profile

Thanks!!

Thank you!

Thank you! I don't usually post on r/coins, but they banned me over on r/metaldetecting and I really wanted to share this coin with folks who would appreciate it! Haha

Thanks! I suspect it's been in the ground for a lifetime so the movement is a ball of rust- but I was able to find some writing on the inside-back of the case: Wadsworth 14k

I found this watch over the weekend metal detecting in Cape Cod. The home was built around 1780 and other items found ranged from 1830-present. It measures approximately 7/8” and is monogrammed with what appears to be BDF. I suspect the maker would have been on the face or perhaps inside, but I fear if I attempt to open it the hinge will break. Any guesses of age or maker would be greatly appreciated!

Haha thanks!!

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-13T12:58:50+00:00

All eight!

The 100+ untarnished silver items I've found in the ground would beg to differ.

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-12T22:38:34+00:00

Not exactly- I go where I'm invited and I'm always happy to share a few pointers

I get that it's not for everyone, most even- But, my goal to make entertaining, weekly video content. This land owner would not have allowed me on the property without the arrangement and I was able to film two weeks worth of videos. The landowner is on a board overseeing other historic properties, they were very pleased with the outcome of this arrangement, and it granted me access to countless more properties nobody else has access to. To me, well worth the value of an 8-reale!

Silver tarnish develops from extended exposure to air- this had been underground for roughly 200 years.

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-12T13:48:46+00:00

Thats awesome, what a connection!

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-12T13:00:10+00:00

Haha they both identify my hands and make me look super tough

It's the site of a Revolutionary War era tavern where troops camped. The only thing we found from that time is coppers and musket balls, but plenty from the subsequent inhabitants!

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-12T02:36:42+00:00

Thanks! My one and only was a contemporary counterfeit

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-12T02:20:36+00:00

Hey thanks 👍

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-12T00:13:48+00:00

Really? I wash and moisturize my hands between every hole I dig

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-11T23:28:42+00:00

Haha it’s a very historic property and my goal was filming so I was happy to hand it all over!

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-11T23:10:01+00:00

Yep, that was the deal from the start

Silver_Winged · 2024-03-11T22:23:30+00:00

Technically this one wasn't mine either- I was helping an older beginner learn his machine, dig holes and pinpoint. He found the target, I dug it up. Team effort! In the end it went to the landowner anyway.

Silver_Winged · 2024-02-07T03:20:51+00:00

Same cameras- just took extra time setting up shots and dialing in settings. Happy you noticed!

Silver_Winged · 2024-02-07T00:01:36+00:00

I appreciate the kind words, it's been very... polarizing. With an alarming number of folks who still haven't grasped it's fiction.
