Lot of local history right here! 1900's going back a few thousand years!5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
Dont you wish they all came out like this? Found this during sidewalk tearout in Oshkosh, Wisconsin a few years back. Eyeballed the edge sticking out and could tell it was in amazing shape, so i put it in the truck and waited until i got home to rinse it off without acatching it up. Yowzer!5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting

Some of my favorite finds dating to the mid to late 1700's. Cast brass corpus off a crucifix and three kettle brass hand cut arrow points. These are the types of finds that get me excited and make me wonder who lost these and what was their life like?5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting

A few framed coins from a different undocumented cabin site here in Wisconsin. 1828 Foreign coin, several 1830's large cents, and a broken Pistareen. The two pieces were found 2 years apart and the coin likely dates into the 1700's.5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
A token i found a few years ago. Very small and rare i guess. Cant find any pictures of this anywhere, but one book has a accurate description identifying it as a Gen. McClellan token. Other side has a man on horse back with a raised saber. A teepee with a american is in the background.5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
I was told that people on this forum would appreciate this and i should post it here. Found a couple years ago in a Wisconsin farm field where a old cabin once stood. Found a few large cents and a seated half dime (1853) in the same location. Probably my nicest three cent silver.5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/coins

My oldest American coin from Wisconsin with accompanying relics from the same field. I had permission for a large field where two houses once were, but after doing some recon found a third undocemented cabin site. Always pays to explore!5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
East Central Wisconsin IHS Jesuit ring. These iconographic rings were supposedly given to the natives upon their conversion to Christianity by the Jesuit preists. This particular ring was found in 2018 and would date pretty close to 1670.5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
Another amazing ring find! This one found by my associate Mr. Brain Stevens a few years ago at a different location in Wisconsin. Is everyone sick of Jesuit rings yet? What do you people want to see?5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
My father. Circa 1969 with his Whites Gold Master in Michigans upper peninsula. In the year 2000 I took this same machine out to see what I could find and was hooked!5yr ⋅ johnny_relic ⋅ r/metaldetecting
