F350Platinum Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Back home from the beach. Got a beautiful day today, low 80s, North wind. Went to the hill over the river, I mowed it a bit more yesterday, so I wanted to see if the Coiltek 10x5 could pull some more from a place I have searched pretty heavily with the standard coil. I wasn't disappointed. Not much, but old coins and jewelry are always welcome. Copper scale that indicates from 0 to 25 something, Gold plated stamped pin with a purple stone, may be amethyst but possibly purple dyed paste. I'm glad the stone is still there, barely held in by the pins. 1941 wheat I think, and an old stamped button from Boston. This hill is infested with nails and large pieces of iron, but the 10x5 cuts the good stuff out like a knife. ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Cool finds, Love the scale gauge and the pin, Most likely colored glass like you said but still a great find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I think it's a fish scale, the hill is overlooking the river. Probably one that looks like this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak? ? That's a fascinating slide-in rig you did there. I can get some custom cases at the metal detector shop I go to now and again. This one is cedar. The maker uses wood pins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 That's a nice one, The one in the photo is actually Chestnut from an 1856 barn. I reclaim all kinds of old boards and beams. I'm basically a junk collector HaHa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Stone could be amethyst. Clean it up and look for inclusions. Cool pin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
