I just thought I would share several of the objects I have found with my metal detector over the years here in Texas, and I have been metal detecting since 1972. I have owned quite a few different brands of metal detectors over the years, but I am now using a Tesoro Cortes and find it to be a great detector.

I'm so jealous!
i just dont have the patience to go, i mean stay, detecting. To many bottle tops, nails,pieces of wire, LOTS of wire around hear! What is pict#2?
That can be eliminated with the technology available now. Go to some of the major detector web sites and check out the new equipment.
Thank you very much for visiting mikielikesigns2, ttomtucker & mrmajestic1
Is the third picture bullets caps or caps for some kind of machinery
bratjdd,
Sorry I missed your post. The third photo is of various brass shell casings. Bottom row, far left, looks like somebody put two casings together for some reason. They are both fired, and say U. M. C., 41 L.C. on the bottom.

Thank you for the love
mikielikesigns2,

Thank you very much gargoylecollector
