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...
Went out the other day and found a very nice piece of silver with some cobaltite that weighs 10 pounds. It was a very good signal with the F75 detector and I had to dig down almost 2 feet. It probably took close to 45 minutes to dig it out because the ground was very compact and kept caving...
Plumbata - I never expect to find anything like I did that year. A 153 pound specimen of silver is hard to come by. It was a good year for detecting this year. Here is a picture of one of the best finds for the year. It is a 60 pound specimen with a large vein of native silver in calcite. I...
Thank you everyone for the information. I can let my friend know that they have a very nice bottle and possibly a rare one. I'm surprised that there is not a lot of information available on this one.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out trying to find anything about this bottle. Here is a picture of the base of the bottle. There is nothing on it. Someone has to know something about this bottle or maybe a fellow Canadian has seen one before?[attachment=IMG_7438.jpg]
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]
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...
Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a long time but still enjoy following everyone's posts. I tried to resurrect an old post of mine to add some additional information to it regarding a bottle I found from my area but for some reason I could not find where to click to reply to the old post...
RE: One more good morning
Ironmountain-- I have been very happy with the F75. I love it. The rock pictured, from what I can tell, is about 75% silver. It also has Cobalt (cobalt bloom) in it and some calcite. It probably has some other arsenides in it as well but I am not a geologist just...
