I didnt hear about this one yet, fellow detectorists here, I just got into the hobby this spring so I'm fairly new
So far ive found about $64 in (canadian) coins, about $6 of that are in such bad shape I should just throw it out
Ive found 8 rings, 2 sterling rings, 2 gumball machine rings, 1 black ring maybe stainless or tungsten, and 3 kids rings that look real, better then the gumball specials, but still just not precious
I found 2 sterling earrings and 2 sterling charms
A bunch of little cheap jewelery like pendents and earrings and such
2 canadian silver dimes, .800 silver
A 1913 large cent
A few junker bracelets
And a possible gold chain, I havnt figured out if its actually karat gold, or just gold filled, if you dont know what gold filled is, its like plated, but Instead of being microns thick, its 5% gold by weight
I also found a couple bullets and thats about it I think
I have 5 scrap piles going, stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum and lead
