Thanks for your input. Maybe I will show her a few videos of girls metal detecting. I will not force her to go with me if she doesn’t want to I guess.

Recently, I have been trying to persuade my wife into coming out metal detecting with me. She has repeatedly told me that metal detecting is a man’s hobby, and that women don’t usually go out metal detecting. So here I am today to see what the percentage is to hopefully prove her wrong and get her to come with me.

Haha, good one! Yeah, I had to put on my headphones and turn up the sound!

Cool

I was out metal detecting a area I have wanted to detect for a long time. I ended up finding this cool old rail car. I has a big pot looking bucket in the middle. Any guesses for what it was used for? I is a bit of a different kind of relic to find. I was in a old railroad area and maybe it was moved here and forgotten may years ago, only remembered by the graffiti artists. The rest of the metal detecting finds are coming as soon as I clean and sort them out.

It’s okay, no problem. Just making sure.

What Indian head penny?

Excuse me? I don’t know what your referring to.

Not mine.

There was a bunch if these buttons in it. There is a weird stain in it. Any information on the buttons? I never opened it until now. I wanted to know what it was before I opened it. Here’s the inside.

I was out metal detecting a few days ago. I found this is a sealed container(maybe a time capsule). It is some sort bowl container. It has the swastika emblems on it. The second photo is the other one I found in the container with it. I am wondering if it is from ww2 era Germany, or maybe something before the Germans used the symbol. I think it used to be a good luck symbol. Could it have been a ww2 vet bring back and buried in a time capsule? I found it in PA, USA

As you can see, my first post was earlier than my second, so at the time of the first post, I didn’t have one. As of the second post I have a pinpointer. It is a cheaper one I just got, and I was asking for a suggestions on a better one.

I agree it is better to have one. I started out with a cheap bounty hunter one that vibrates. I will probably get a higher quality one once I find a good one. Any recommendations?

I never have used a pin pointer while metal detecting

Does anyone know a way to dip in grass without the grass dying. When digging in my yard, I try to not kill the grass. But the circle of grass in dig always turns brown/yellow. I was wondering if there was a way to prevent this, or is this something that just happens. Thanks!

I plan to in the near future, before all the plants grow in.

Wow, I really like those 4 stoneware jugs on the last picture! Do you know what they would have been used for. I have one with a number 3 on it.

These are very cool!

That’s cool! I might have to try that to see if this is one of them!

Thanks to everyone for responding! I like find these old glass and then finding out what they are. If some of them are newer, I don’t care because they look cool. If anyone else has any guesses, please let me know!

I have more bottles to show soon, I haven’t cleaned them yet.

Hey everyone! I’m here in my spare bathroom, and I took a few pictures after cleaning. I found these old bottles a few days ago while hunting on a hill by my grandfathers house. The house was built in 1909 I think, and he told me it used to be a bottle dump in the nearby woods. It was my first time getting to look at the hill. Anyway, I was just asking if anyone knows anything about these little bottles/jars. The one on the farthest left looks like a cork top. The seem does not go all the way to the top(maybe blown in a mold?) it has a W in a triangle on the bottom and a number. The second bottle/jar has a screw type lip. It was lines and dots going almost all the way around the bottle, but stops in a section(see pictures). Was this maybe for a label? It also has a strange rectangular hole in the bottom. Any ideas what that was for? The last jar on the far right looks like a little vase. It has a nice green color, but a small chip. It also has a screw type lid. It does look neat. I would like to know what originally came in them and what they were used for. Anyone who knows about bottles or anyone who would like to guess would be appreciated. Thank you for looking, and I hope to hear your guesses!

Thank you! I never thought it would be before to early ww2! That was a good find then!

Ok, thanks

I guess no one knows
