Metal Detecting Guides and Tips Forum • How do you metal detect?
Just a quick question to start a conversation, but how do you metal detect?
Do you just go where the lady of the land takes you, or are you systematic and create small groups to detect?
Do you do the perimeter of the field first?


Just curious, I normally wander but trying to be a bit more organised on my new permission

Metal Detecting Finds Identification • Re: Ring genuine or fake?
Thank you for all the replies

I've shown it to someone who has bought opal from Coober Pedy and Kalgoorlie and thinks it is opal - apologies for the photos I'll try to do better but I find rings are tricky!

Metal Detecting Finds Identification • Re: Could this be a musket ball?
16.5mm would be pretty much dead on .65 calibre, and it certainly looks like one to me. When I used to cast my own lead shot for the muzzle loading revolvers I used to shoot, the seam and sprue mark would look more or less just the same.

Best regards,

Simon

Military ordnance Forum • Re: remnant bullet primer for ID
Not one that I recognise as being military, but I would hazard a guess at an early 20 gauge shotgun with a body being made of card. 20 gauge is smaller (15.6mm) than the much more common 12 gauge (18.5mm). I might be wrong, so it might be one to keep aside.

Best regards,

Simon
