My ( Good ) Finds So Far

[Bash]

Thought I’d give a quick update and some photos of the (good) stuff I’ve found so far.  I have a little over 40 hours of metal detecting on the Equinox 800. This is the entirety of my metal detecting experience!  Thanks to everyone on the forum who has helped guide me.

 

I haven’t included the junk in these photos, but trust me, there is a fair amount!  There seems to be less junk dug the more hours I put in though.

 

So far I have found:

 

Currency

Two clad quarters

Five silver dimes (A Barber, three Mercs, and a Roosevelt)

Seven clad dimes

Seven Nickels (A V!, two Buffalos, and four Jeffersons)

Fifteen Wheat Pennies (Ranging from 1919 to 1957)

An old Chinese Coin

 

Jewelry

Two enameled pieces (Either broaches or buttons)

A Catholic medallion depicting Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and The Sacred Heart of Jesus

 

Tokens

A token from an old pool hall

 

Relics

A creepy cool stamped metal doll head!  Just found this morning at a local park not three blocks from the house! Found the face first, and the back of the head a little deeper.

 

Most of this was found in parking strips in a Helena, MT neighborhood, Except for the doll head…

 

Still looking for that $5 gold piece!

I found one last year in the mountains in Colorado near a ghost town, but the front and back was smashed flat. It took a while to figure out what it was. My was stamped with the name Minerva on the back portion. Like you said they are creepy looking.

Here's a link to metal doll heads:

Thanks Glenn!

No makers mark on this one that I can find.

Good finds so far, It only gets better with time. As for the creepy doll head, You need to toss that thing out before it steals your soul Ha Ha.

Trust me, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought something along those lines.  Visions of Chucky from the movie "Childs Play"!

You're killing it!  Is the Jeffy on the far right a Warnick (1942-45 with large mintmark above the Jefferson Memorial)?  If so those contain about 80% as much silver as the dimes.

Keep it going.

I wish GB! It's just a 1980 that I scrubbed a bit. 😇
