I just bought this 1915 general and metal detected it and found part to the original cash register!!

Hi,

  
my boy is 5 1/2 and looking for a metal detector that he can use now and a few years.

What would be recommended?

"Nokta Makro 1st Swing" vs "midi hoard"?

  
Thankyou

I want to get into metal detecting, but I don't know where to start regarding the legality. I live just outside of Boston, and I've seen sources say that metal detecting is legal anywhere it doesn't say it isn't, but I've also seen people say that you need a permit everywhere other than private land, and I still can't figure out how to acquire said permit. What exactly are the rules? What public lands are legal, and which ones are permits needed for?

We found some farm equipment pieces,  and a length of chain and a dog collar with tags from 1987. We've only scratched the surface.

Started to search the 200 acres of farm land. 

Went scouting for new sites and found a later site late in the day.  Only notable find was that 1928 silver.  Still, fun day out!

Very bad coin found today in the Netherlands 

Good day on the mountain

Looks like it is gold plated. I am guessing a old Brooche. Because it looks like the back side is missing something. Average Coin size

So my friend found this in north west England (Cheshire area) and after a clean up can’t ID it, lots said Roman first but can’t get a positive ID on the emperor so now thinking possible Greek…. It’s about the size of a Uk modern 5p

Hello everyone I was on a  with a metal detector near Sevastopol (Crimea) today, where heavy fighting was taking place. I found a pair of both Soviet and German shell casings and a pair of Red Army buttons, as well as such a fragment of something with the inscription V. 4.2. 116. I scrolled through the entire Internet and found nothing. Clearly a fragment from something German, it's just interesting from what. It weighs 40 grams, there's something like a gasket on the back at the top, although I won't say so, it's almost completely rotted. In general, can someone tell me what it is and what it is eaten with)

I live in Northwestern Pennsylvania, USA and there is a particular piece of property I wish to metal detect on.   I will be sending a letter to the land owner asking permission with a statement that I am willing to sign a Metal Detecting Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk Agreement.

How often does this subreddit community sign a Liability Waiver in an effort to give the land owner assurances that I will not sue for possible injuries, property damage, etc?

K2 1943 20mm found approx 8 miles from coast SE England, 20 mm minus its large explosive tip.

Found this in our backyard using our metal detector. The house was built in the early 90s, but this looks perhaps older than that. Does anyone know how best to find out what year this came from? Is that cursive letter “C” on it?
