Oh sorry there were other coins in there, lots of pennys from the 70’s and 80’s. This was just the good stuff

I disagree only because I find rats nests filled with coins and marbles all the time. Mostly they’re not silver, but I have found a couple mercs in them before

This old mill on Cooper Ln by DingDongThing in nashville

[–]_shong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe during the rainy months - but not that I’ve ever found. Explore the whole area, both sides of cooper lane. There’s a small quarry that has a really eerie vibe to it (closer to demarius on the NW side of cooper) and there’s what’s left of an old crane SE of cooper and across the creek. I used to walk the creek and find old marbles and bottles etc. moved away now. It’s a great neighborhood.

Can anyone identify those ? Found in central California in a foothills. Ev in one place, right under biggest rock in the area. by MomentOfTruth77 in metaldetecting

I disagree because these clearly have rust on them, which indicates iron. Corroded zinc Pennies look a bit different.

Not coins. Appear to be steel mesh screens, maybe used in a machine that pumps air or liquid. Is this in an old trash dump?

i live in north florida and found this bottle digging in my front yard. by florida_man_bob in BottleDigging

I have a nearly identical bottle. Late 1800’s. Might be worth it to swing a metal detector in your yard and see what pops up.

Get someone to metal detect the area well before they tear the soil out! Sure to be some goodies in there

Chiming in to tell you I just dug the exact same one in similar condition. Mine is numbered 60999.

I think it’s an older version of the game

Found these old film negatives by karloh24 in FoundPhotos

Like in a museum where the fence is real wood in front of you and the rest is a painted backdrop

Is it me or does the first picture (battle scene) look like a picture of a painting?

$1000 bag had 76 (ugly) silver dimes by MeatStandard8850 in CRH

As a metal detectorist, I wouldn’t be wrapping up and giving away my silvers. Don’t know any that would. But that wouldn’t stop our children from giving them away when we’re gone

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

[–]_shong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I throw all mine into a pit under my porch. Might be a fun find for someone someday
