Found this old powder flask measuring nozzle on the goldfields of central Victoria, Australia, yesterday. Thought you all might like to see it.

I bought this off eBay almost 20 years ago (est), from a guy who lived near the White’s factory, worked there and repaired and tweaked them as a hobby. It has def made some GREAT finds for me. Still not quite sure what the added knobs do EXACTLY, (ideas?) but I just adjust them lightly until it sounds good on live testing and try not to move them much after the fact-only for depth.

Found it in my yard a while back. NYC button works. Google estimated it WW1 era 1910-1920. TIA

Consideras que las macuquinas o macucas son aquellas monedas que todos deseamos? Por lo menos en América. Qué pasa cuando cruzamos el océano y en Europa aparecen monedas romanas, monedas mucho más antiguas. Las macuquinas para ellos son tan interesantes como para nosotros? La antigüedad hace que esa moneda sea tan codiciada? Su valor numismático y económico? O su rareza? Cuando encontré las primeras macucas, monedas más modernas que antes me fascinaban pasaron a no generarme demasiada emoción. Que sentimiento es este? Es como perseguir un reto cada vez mayor y adictivo? Que opinas Detectorista? Les comparto dos piezas que aparecieron con el Manticore de Minelab. Profundas, escurridizas y olvidadas.

I turned 50 yesterday, my wife surprised me with a Nokta Simplex Ultra. I read the manual and went about in the field setting, what a absolute blast! Any tips or suggestions welcome

5 by 2 inch metal piece with 4 tabs on the back. 2 found holes with 10 slots between them. Found this in my yard and would really like to know what it is.

Hey everyone!
I’m pretty new to metal detecting and still learning about the hobby.
I’ve been reading a bit about finding lead objects while metal detecting, and I’ve heard that old, corroded lead can be quite toxic.
However, I often see metal detecting videos where people pick up old lead objects with their bare hands like it’s no big deal.
So I’m wondering, how dangerous is it really? Is briefly touching corroded lead actually a health risk, or is the danger mainly from accidentally ingesting lead dust or particles?
Do you guys use gloves when handling lead finds, or do you just wash your hands afterwards?
Since I’m still a beginner, I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences!
Greets yall

Hi everyone! I used to be active in one of the metal detecting subs awhile back one of my old accounts.

I remember there was a website people used that you could see foundational from satellite and it was black and white

Does anyone happen to know what I’m referring to? I can’t find it anywhere

Thanks!

So I’ve got the 11” and am thinking of going for the bigger coil or should I go HF instead? What are the pro and cons of doing this? Main search areas are pasture and ploughed don’t usually do beach only on my holidays or when visiting my brother in Barcelona
Thanks for any info

Hy today playground hunting in the Netherlands.

Have a great evening everybody 😊👍

Haven't been out as much as I'd like to lately so deciding to show off all the rings gold and silver I've found throughout my years of metal detecting. It's not impressive but being I only go where I can take my bike or walk to not so bad. I don't live on the coast or anything crazy so stuck to trashy parks and schools. But in a whole lot of work to have what I have lots and lots of hours out and sore legs as I'm someone who will stay out til I find something no matter how long it takes. My stubbornness pays off from time to time. I don't think I've found anything of a lot of value but I'll keep trying til it happens and regardless I know that's not what it's about I do enjoy the time out and have fun regardless.

I already have a bunch of these Greek coins, but this one is in way too good condition not to share it on Reddit.

The two up top date 1890 and the shiny one below is 1889 - all silver!!! So happy

I don't know what I'm going to do with all of them in terms of cleaning them up. Probably start with an acetone soak. I have seen people get really good results with a rock tumbler with some sort of medium inside that doesn'tdestroy the surface of the coin but it knocks the dirt and corrosion off. I'm curious how you all clean your crusty copper coins? I've seen some people on here do some really good jobs with cleaning up their copper finds.

I've been thinking about getting a metal detector for a while now and I have been researching them. But I see people always getting down on their knees. I will probably never be able to get down on my knees again. So do you think I would still be able to metal detector and dig things up still?

Pretty proud of all the history I saved!

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

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? 😂
