What Are Your Best Finds?

And a bit more gold:

I believe these are all 14 KT rings & stuff:



I have pictures of some more rings, but I have to find them.

best thing I have found is a 1956 drivers liscense badge from 1956 found it when they tore up an old parking lot in the middle oftown.later greg

These are a few of my best finds, at least the most unusual for my part of Wisconsin.

Nice finds TreasHunt. Where do you usually hunt with your metal detector? What equipment do you use?

Many years ago while hunting w/a friend on his land,(next door to the Manassas Battlefield, Va.), my friend hit a strong signal. We pulled up a "SNY" buckle! ("State of New York"). In the same area we found metal buttons, small buckles, unfired musket balls, and even two heal plates,(little horse shoes that protected the heals on a soldiers shoes). It was then that we figured out we had found where a soldier from the 2nd Battle of Manassas,(most likely one of the 5th NY Zouaves), had wondered several hundred yards away from a fight and died, never to be found/buried until then. We turned all this stuff into a NPS Ranger I knew and in a later dig they found alot more of his personnel items. I have not been detecting since then........except when I throw off my wedding ring feeding horses and have to find it before the wife see's it missing! Paul.
