New fun task: I've been accepted as a finds classification specialist for the central Danish public-facing metal detector finds website, DIME. People register their finds with a smartphone app while standing out in the fields!

In 1977, Morgan Perigo, a graduate of Hamilton's McMaster University, lost his class ring in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Barbados. Last month, free diver Alex Davis found it buried underwater and worked to get the ring back to its owner.

When I look at this image it reminds me so strongly of my metal detecting hobby that i wander past the camera, pausing every now and then to dig up a shotgun cartridge
So far only iron waste. And a golf ball. #archaeology #metaldetecting

We have now found enough nails to build a new house, an old axe head, a penny from 1994, random pottery, a piece of metal that looked jewelry-like, and a small buckle that was, interestingly enough, more than 8 inches down. #MetalDetecting
Moderator in a metal detectorist group claims that a small coin hoard found by detectorists near Halmstad has been misplaced by the authorities, possibly even stolen by a government employee. Angry anti-government reply guys pile on in the comments.
It takes me two emails and less than 24 hours to find out the hoard's inventory number in Halland County Museum, as well as which of the museum's storage facilities it is kept in.
There aren't usually too many stories about very old coins being dug up in Australia. Here is a 1754 Dutch East India Company Duit found after 284 years buried near Hobart, Tasmania: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-21/pre-colonial-dutch-east-indies-coin-from-1754-found-in-hobart/104245932

We used the #MetalDetector this evening and quickly found a beautiful 1841 coin in our yard. It’s a “Hard Times Token,” minted by private companies in the late 1830s to early 1840s as a protest against Andrew Jackson’s economic policies. For good reason—these tokens ended up being used as money when coins were being hoarded. They ultimately fell out of use by 1857, indicating it was dropped at least 15-20 years before our house was built.
It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.
I've been out #metaldetecting this morning. There was nothing of value found, most people would say. However, I found this handle and I really like it. Idk why. I want to go all like 'they just don't make stuff like this anymore '
I found it in a horse pasture. Wonder what it could be from and how old it is.
I still maintain that no matter how clearly you have been taught, no matter how deeply you have read...
...you will not truly understand the danger of the electric fence until you attempt to crawl under it and fail, and the fence discharges jolt after painful jolt into the small of your back while you lie on your stomach in the wet grass pissing yourself and your metal-detecting buddy doesn't help because he is laughing so hard he can barely stand.
I am happy/ashamed to note that i was the unhelpful buddy in this situation
Norwegian detectorist Tor Arne Tjernslien has found part of a Late #Medieval anthropomorphic candlestick! Google "Männleinleuchter". #metaldetecting #archaeology
Prepping a conference talk about metal-detecting in Sweden. Considered titling it "Swedish metal-detecting is slowly starting to rock".
I decided to take the day off and enjoy the warm weather. Out metal detecting the local fairgrounds. I didn't find much, but it's all about the thrill of the hunt.

This is pretty remarkable from a Swedish perspective. Moesgaard Museum is one of Denmark's two biggest archaeological museums. When they exhibit metal detector finds, they will sometimes invite the detectorist to a photo studio, take a really good portrait, and display it prominently along with the detectorist's name and her finds!
