Hi all,
I thought I would share my good finds with you. I use a standard Teknetics T2 machine and sometimes I add the 12 x 15 SEF coil if I feel very strong (It usually goes way to deep for me with the SEF coil)
Have a good hunt.
When in doubt dig!

Great finds Diamond Digger, thanks for sharing the video with us. Looks like that poor ring at minute 7:40 of the video has seen some hard times. Looks like a shattered Opal.

Hi, Pleasure is all mine. It is actually an roman intaglio or seal ring that is silver and broken I have been looking into getting it repaired but do not have a price yet.

Swizz,
The two finds I really treasure is the Scottish kilt brooch with the five colored stones in it. I placed this one of a kind find into a display box and donated it to the land owner cash value was around £14 000, depending on the auction.
The second find was the extremely rare Edward VI hammered shilling for Ireland. It is only the 5th one found with the Harp mintmark it is also the one in the best condition of all of the previous finds. Cash value can be anything.
Have a good hunt!
