I inherited this from my grandfather, and I’m really excited to use it. I couldn’t find a date on the device so I’m not sure exactly how old but I don’t think it’s from the 2000s.
I’m a newbie. do you think this old guy is worth playing with or should I invest in something new?

Apparently in the spirit of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the universe has willed that I should now exercise my right to bear arms. A very rusted old arm.

All jokes aside though I was very surprised. First gun I’ve ever found!

Is anyone here able to help narrow down any identifying information about this? Found in Ayer MA. No identifying text apparent because it’s a rusted mess.

Thank you for any help!

Went out this morning for after 4th fresh drops and found this. Came in as 32 on minelab and looked so good in the scoop.

I went out and hunted a southern California beach after the fireworks last night. Nothing of great value but a great night with lots of targets. 130 coins but the silver mushroom ring was the find of the night. Also made $20 recovering keys for a college student.

Found this beautiful medal in south Netherlands i believe from 1800, depicting Mary and Jesus as an adolescent, i assume referring to the meeting in the temple of Jesus when he was 12.

Are these two objects old coins?

Had this for a few years, but just started making this weird alarm sound. Makes the noise when I turn it on, then again when it gets near a target.

It’s made it all but useless.

This was ridiculously deep and found in the south of the UK. Unfortunately not too much go on . Definitely not a bag seal even though it's made from lead .Your opinion would be very helpful. Many thanks

This area has unfortunately shut down since I’ve found these due to an industrial waste cleanup. Happy to have found these when I did and wish I could’ve found more. Most of this was found simply digging around.

Today's finds. Interesting items: a faux-twisted ring, an unusual plummet-like button (usually copper), and a silver button with an ornament. Sergiev Posad District, Moscow Region, Russia

Belive it is brass, found at a continuous operated farm sight from the late 1800s to today. Not sure what it is but I feel like it being brass points to it being a gun piece.
