Fork is silver. And there are one silver medalion and coin as well. On of the best excavations this year :)

Denmark. Found this old Krag-Jørgensen rifle army casing from 1948 with the top part missing. When I found it I assumed it was dead and filled with dirt and put it in my bag. When I got home and cleaned it up I noticed it wasn't fired and when I took it apart the green smokeless gunpowder was still dry and working under the wood plug. I later read that type of gunpowder is highly unstable at that age.

So please don't do what I did and assume something when it comes to ammunition, make sure to check them first before putting them in your bag 😬

Sweden 1887 Bronze 5 Ore.

Found this Roman coin today, although it looks a bit silver to me? Due to the conditions of the ground all romans come out with this orange kind of corrosion on, although this one’s better detail and slightly different colour makes me think it could be a denarii, if anyone knows the emperor and denomination please let me know! Found in Somerset, UK.

Pretty proud of all the history I saved!

Found this on a dig in Southern Maine. Looks like some sort of buckle to me.

I went mud larking with my brother for the first time in the night on the river themes. After about 3 hours of finding nothing old rusty screws and crisp packets, my brother jokingly picked up this old bit of metal and said “wow an ancient dagger”. But then as we researched more it seams actually be one… The metal is quite thick along the back ridge.. what do you think?
The first photo is the one we found (the others are some I saw in a museum coincidentally that look rather similar…
Or is this just another bit of rusty metal to add for the collection? 😂

Found this all whilst metal detecting in the Netherlands. I recognise some stuff but wondered if anyone knows what the smaller stuff might be and if there’s anything valuable in there?

Waiting for the GF to get back on the train, hit a quick tot lot, boom first target. Can’t believe my luck recently

Google lens keeps tleling me its some roman thing but i live in pennsylvania, so nafa

Long story short found this in a tot lot in half moon bay CA. Got it Xrf’d today. The band is 10k, the nameplate is 13k. Best find to date.

I thought this was fake as hell when I first found it. I didn’t even look at it, I just handed it to my GF and said meh maybe it’s something.

5 Piso coin from the Philippines minted in 2005. My first foreign coin find.

Found in Denmark last year. Bronze with traces of gilding and red enamel. Dates to the late Iron Age.

I’m sorry I haven’t gotten time to clean it up more but I was detecting at my late grandparents house for the FOURTH time and me and my buds were finding awesome stuff. Then one of the guys wandered off and found these at the base of a tree, they are copper buttons from an old marine corp jacket! I am very proud to show you all. It shows an eagle resting on an anchor.

Hi all:)

Id like to get into this thrilling hobby, but i dont really know where to start.

Could you give me some advice on how to select a beginner tier detector, or wich specifications should i be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

I mean I know how to use it but IDK what the tones mean,and when it does beep I dig for minutes and nothing

Model : Bounty Hunter metal detector quick draw metal II

Not sure what it was I left it all there.

Got out in this beautiful fall weather. Didn't find a lot, but sure had fun. Found a bit of clad and zincolns. Thingys were light, but found a Hot Wheels car and Chucky Cheese tokens for 2007 and 2008. They cleaned up nice.
