The Official Asylum Metal Detecting & Finds Thread

Cutlery. It's odd how the waves can bend the spoons like that...



Matchbox cars. Notice how popular police cars are for leaving buried in the sand...



Other stuff. People practice drive golf balls into the lake. I call it littering.

Sunglasses are popular for losing in the water.



So are cell phones. I was able to find the owners of two of these by pulling miniSD cards. I called the owners and they didn't want them back. The Samsung still works fine, too.



And of course, keys are popular to lose as well. I had two people stop and ask if I'd found keys they'd lost. I hadn't.

If I keep up this hobby, I will never need to buy another pocket knife. I carry the CRKT regularly.



For a bathing beach, I find a lot of munitions. Mostly shotgun shells, but the thing that looks like a tip to an artillery shell is, well, the tip to an artillery shell (or a rocket). The round ring is a piece of another one. The tail fin is from a parachute flare. And yes, that is a link from a machine gun.



I won't need to buy lures anymore, either. There are several areas of the lake guys go to just to search for lures...

This is a remains tag from a crematorium. I blurred the number for privacy.

Hope someone finds mine there a long long time from now.

Obviously, these are not metal detecting finds.

Apparently, beach-goers are pro-boobies. Who knew?



Here is a big old pile of junk earrings and bracelets. You'd think I'd be able to make a matching pair of earrings from all this, but you'd be wrong.



Other "junk" jewelry finds. I got a rush seeing some of these in the scoop.
