    Bronze age axe head, one of my friends who has sadly past away found 4 or 5 and also half a bronze age sword. The more time you put in and more ground you cover the more likely you are to find something good.

    Seen hammered coins, Roman coins, gold coins, sword pomells, viking silver, a Hitler youth dagger, Roman sling shots, lots of different stuff.

    I use an Xp Deus based in the UK.

      I feel like Europe would offer way better finds than the US. I’ve only ever used one to locate electric lines, but i definitely can’t imagine discovering any of your impressive finds in the USA especially where I’m at in the Midwest
