Or the SC sandbar on Lake Wylie (my wedding band) lolAt the beach hit low tide ... especially in front of the hotels. You can pickup a few dollars in change easy along with the occasional necklace or such.
Another interesting hobby, but you don’t find a lot “good” valuable stuff, is magnet fishing. An 400-500lb rare earth magnet on the end of a 75-100ft of nylon rope and dock/pier/bridge and you never know what you’ll pull up. It won’t be gold or silver ... has to be made of a ferrous metal but you will pull up a rod & reel every so often.
Holy crap.Who buries anvils? I guess they were used as points on the property line?
That's some kind of luggage tag or maybe a watch fob. It says "Army Maneuver Camp Roosevelt Mt. Gretna PA 1906". Too bad whoever lost it didn't lose the good watch fob instead: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Spanish-American-War-Maneuvers-1906-Fob-Camp-Roosevelt-Mount-Gretna-PA-/264349853577?ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F711-53200-19255-0%2F1%3Ficep_ff3%3D2%26pub%3D5574933636%26toolid%3D10001%26campid%3D5337590779%26customid%3D%26mpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Eebay%252Ecom%252Fitm%252FVintage-Spanish-American-War-Maneuvers-1906-Fob-Camp-Roosevelt-Mount-Gretna-PA-%252F264349853577%26srcrot%3D711-53200-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D2518437820071%26rvr_ts%3D6028f7bd1730aaecf72174e6ffa083c5&ul_noapp=trueWhat's that badge about?
I have a distant cousin who has been a surveyor around Greenville SC for around 40 years. I bet he has found a giant pile of junk like that.Hah, I couldn't figure it out either, but there was other weird stuff going on around that house. They're pretty rounded over on top, but still have plenty of life left in them.
I've found an old Stanley hammer that was dead nuts set as a property corner, flagging on it and everything. I find a pair of Channellocks every 4th or 5th survey I do, to the point that I keep a little bin full of oil that I just toss 'em into when I get home. I clean them up and put them in the work trucks or give them away.
Did a survey out in Union Co that we dubbed the "screwdriver graveyard". There were over 2 dozen screwdrivers stabbed into the ground at the base of a tree. Mostly old Stanleys.
Started digging up stuff near a barbed wire fence and unearthed a pile of cow skulls and old, sealed Budweiser cans (from when you made the holes yourself). Found numerous (as in, large operations) old liquor still remains in Rock Hill and Mineral Springs.
Of course, all of this is just irritating when you're trying to just find an old pipe or rebar.

If this does turn into a trade sell thingy, I might know where a fellow could get a xp deus with 2 coils.Let's just turn this into a For Sale thread.
@premise So I guess fence wires, 16dd nails, and flat rod in the middle of road beds aint enough for ya? Dude find me an anvil! I'll pay you with cheap reloads and range time
Be careful detecting on the Outer Banks. Make sure you are not on the National Seashore.
Any advice on the best one for $100 or less?
Maybe you will find some of Black Beards treasure while you are there.

True. A silver coin that has been in the ground for years comes outI was his digger for several years and there ain’t nothing like that glimmer of a silver coin coming out of the ground.
