    So where are the detector reports??

    Went out detecting today for silver and started walking down an old road that leads to a mine site that operated about 100 years ago. Within 5 minutes I got a good signal in a part of the road that is usually full of water but emptied out. Dug down almost 2 feet and pulled out this nice piece...

    So where are the detector reports??

    J Brandmann Toronto bottle?

    So where are the detector reports??

    Hit some old mines the other day and found some nice minerals. This one is Silver and Lollingite. The calcite was etched out. What a fantastic mineral specimen this one turned out to be. 12x6x2 cm.[attachment=Detecting.jpg]

    J Brandmann Toronto bottle?

    Hi everyone! A friend of mine unearthed this bottle and I was wondering if someone might have some information about it? I have tried an internet search to find some information but have come up empty. It is embossed J Brandmann Soda Manufacturer Trade <JB> Mark Toronto. It is a Crown Top...
