Hello, I used pan to find alluvial gold in the river. But recently I have become interested in searching for gold with a detector, on a hillside, but so far without success, so I need your advice. And so I use a Garrett AT Gold with Garrett AT sniper 4.5" coil, I surveyed a hillside in a gold-bearing place, where in creek I found gold in the form of 3-5 mm flakes with a wash. Therefore, I decided to go to the hillside with a metal detector in search of gold nuggets. But I couldn't find anything with a metal detector. But in my personal opinion, the place is still promising. I am adding a photo of quartz from this hill. Help "come" to the first gold on the hillside with a detector.

It is extremely heavy. The crust on it is brittle but it itself is extremely hard, actually it scratched my porcelain. Gold tested it acid didn't disappear. No polishing done I just cut it with a Dimond cutting saw.. it took it to a rock museum and 2 rock shops and a geologists.. Noone has any idea. O and it is not magnetic ..

I found these on a gem hunt in California . I have done quite a few tests . I've heated it .. no change . I dropped it while hot into a cup of water and a little bit of oily substance came to surface . I have put it in peroxide and it bubbled . I've put it in vinegar and it bubbled. It doesn't stick to a magnet and we tested it with a one of those conductor devices and it beeped . When my husband gave it a few good walks with a weighted rubber mallet he was able to alter the shape . We only did that test to one of the nuggets. I polished it up a bit and that whitish film on it exposing a beautiful shiny metal . We also did a scratch test and it makes a silvery line that isn't dissolved with vinegar . We dropped it in muriatic acid no change . The torch flame on it for quite a long time resulted in no change whatsoever . After all that and I'm still so curious that I requested a test kit in the mail and it should be here any day . I will post the results when I find out what it is and how much it's worth .

Found this today at a local soccer park. I'm assuming it's from Mexico, but I can't find another just like it. I've tried running it through Google, but no dice. It looks like there are two coins fused together, but I think that is just how this coin/token is. It looks like a partial date under the cactus that the eagle is perched on. The color changed after I cleaned it in the ultrasonic cleaner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jun 2 beach hunt with the Manticore and M15 coil. Does anyone know anything about carved Jade? I dug this pendant yesterday. It is hallmarked 14K 585, so I think it has a foreign origin. Google Lens was not much help but did at least show Japanese, Chinese, Burmese and a few other Asian countries as possible origins. What is the carving? It appears to be the same on both sides. I really can't tell if it is floral, animal, mythical, or just a random freestyle carving. I am hoping someone here is knowledgeable in Jade and particularly carved jade and can school me on what the piece is or isn't. Another thing is that the bale is really a clasp and that is probably how it was lost off of the chain. Thanks, Joe

Are these diamonds? And/or possibly a piece of a meteorites?

Found hiking out in Westlake Village California

I need help identifying some metals and gems. I have found quite a lot. How can I get them looked at and sold? -
They don't stick to a magnet. Really wondering what I have here. They're differently sized except for 2.

I wonder if anyone could help me! These are all from Macedonia does anyone know what they are? That would be so cool to know Mark

I got onto a new permission a couple times over the last 3 weeks. It is an early 1700s farm, with 40 acres of fields and woods. I have basically just been kind of surveying the various areas, but starting tomorrow I will be hitting one field area thoroughly for a couple hours. So far, the best find has been a 1917 type 1 standing liberty quarter. Also an old brass ring with the 18k marking inside. Can anyone identify the hexagon shaped items? They ring up as nickels on the Nox, and leech the same in clay soil. For that matter, any ideas on any of the round brass items or the wheel lookin thing? The coins shown are not wanting to give up dates. One I think is a george II half penny. The other is half a gram lighter and slightly smaller. Happy hunting!.

Hello, My parents have this strange rock lying around and I am wondering if anyone could identify it (see pictures). It's a small, grey rock with orange tints and it has a distinguishable comic shape. The cone edges are smooth. The bottom seems to be broken off from somewhere and has a very particular pattern. From the core there seems to be lines protruding circular around the centre point. Sort of 'fanning out'. The space between the grey rock seem to be filled up with some type of beige curd sand. The top seems to be somewhat bruised and shows a spiral pattern going downward to the bottom. The core seems to be glacy like flint stone. It was probably found somewhere along the coast of Zeeland in The Netherlands. These may be manually deposited sediments. Could anyone help me out and identify this rock object? My guess is that it's part of a stalagmite but it doesn't seem to be just chalk... Cheers, Luc

Hi there thanks for your help. This stone was found in the Sahara desert. I thought it was a fossil but to be honest I have no idea what it is. Any help would be appreciated. seems carved but maybe could be natural markings, extremely heavy. Sound 30cm x 20cm, some sort of quartz stone embedded.

When I light it up it's glows and I can see through. I found the object on a hill, it wasn't lying but was a bit in the ground.

I work in water and sewer construction and while in the ditch we're digging for our pipe was this shiny material. People kept telling me it was just broken glass but after exploring the area better and after pulling a couple pieces out of the wall I realized it was a almost clear crystal with very defined layers to the crystal structure and growths off the side The pictures aren't the best, I can attempt to get better pictures of it tonight if it's too hard to identify. Thank you for your time! Have a great day

Can any of you tell me what this is? A gift from my father when I was young. He traveled all over the world so his location does not help. It is about the size of a large hand.

I was thinking quartzite maybe (see first and last photo especially; the isolated crystals in photo 4 would then be quartz if its quartzite), but don't know what the covering is, nor the other layers present. Also some parts appear like small blebs (eg photo 2) and there is a green mineral present (maybe green patina copper?) (photo 3 and 7). Is rather hard (some parts don't scratch with metal, but others - back covering (eg photo 6) are softer and do scratch slightly with metal) and does not fizz in contact with mild acid (vinegar). Thanks ?

Found this in Minnesota where land was dug up. Very very heavy. Wondering if it's petrified wood?

Hello everyone. I'm new to detecting with the Equinox 800. I found several pieces of this metal that had a vdi of 39. It's not magnetic and ice cubes melt very fast. Can anyone tell me if it's silver?

What is this - many different pieces?

Found These Two Artifacts In Oregon, On Some Farmland Dating Back To The 1800's. I Believe It To Be A Buckle, And A Button But Not Sure. Can Anyone Help Identify Them Please? Front side of buckle. The buckle is 2 inches in length and 1 inch 5/8 in width. When My Nokta Makro Simplex+ detects it the id number shows up as a solid 90. It's not magnetic and appears to be silver. (the artifact is still dirty and needs more restoration) Top side of button. It's about a size of a pea and when detected by my Simplex+ the id jumps around 55 and 60. The button is also not magnetic.

This is another one of those, "What the heck is this?". It is 3 1/4 inches and jumps to a magnet and rings up a solid, LOUD -54 on the Manticore. Those are not threads on the end and appears to be a hard rubber type covering on the handle end. I am used to finding fingernail and or makeup type tools on my beaches, but this doesn't look like anything that could be used in that way. It is fairly heavy for its size also. Can anyone enlighten me? Also, show it to your spouse as they may know what it is. Thanks, Joe

Anyone have any idea what this might be? I doubt it is mission related but you never know! Found on the beach near a mission...
