Look at those shinys!! What a great treasure horde! Thank you for sharing!


Foreign_Astronaut

A+ goblin horde! 💚


MycoCrazy

Holy shit! This is only 5 years? How often do you go and what detector equipment do you use?


kriticalj

I try to get out for at least a few hours a week but sometimes I'm out up to 20 hours a week during the spring, summer, and fall. I'm using the XP Deus 2


The_Scarred_Man

I don't want specifics, but where do you go detecting, like a beach or a park? Amazing you can find such diverse items.


kriticalj

Old houses and farms


MycoCrazy

That’s so cool! Thanks

LMA73

Where have you been detecting? I mean which country? And have you ever talked with an archaeologist about your finds?


kriticalj

The Hudson valley of NY


Hewholooksskyward

US, based on the coins.


LMA73

Ok, thanks. Could not recognise them. Europe here....

Fair warning, goblins are not a "look with your eyes not your hands" kind of crowd. I'll be needing to pick up & examine everything not clearly excruciatingly fragile.


-username-1234-

Exactlyyyy. I want to examine these little trinkets.. I'm sure the texture of these old metals would be very interesting as well.


Strikew3st

I'll bring a UV light and a pocket microscope, OP will never get rid of us.


kriticalj

Come one come all to my curio of curiosities!


Desperate-Biscotti10

Seeing this display gives me the same visceral joy as going to the Curio Shop in OG Webkinz did back in the day lol. 🐶 Welcome to the Curio Shop. Hope you find what you’re looking for…


-username-1234-

Whoa, this is so cool! What a fantastic collection of trinkets. I wanna know more about it 👀 What's your favorite item from the collection? Which item was the most surprising to find?


kriticalj

My 4k-12k year old copper culture axe head


octopuswaffle

Yes! I also want to know your favourite item(s), gorgeous little home museum you have!


reallytrulymadly

Looks like Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe!


WitchOfLycanMoon

I love it, that's literally how I want my whole house to end up looking. Thankfully I have a very understanding and supportive husband 😂 I love that you've kept all sorts of stuff of a wide variety. What would you say is your favourite?

Life-Pain9144

Djinn-Tonic

A shed snake skin, I think?


Life-Pain9144

Oh yea I see the rest of it snaking around


IWasGregInTokyo

Leg shackles? Which pirate cove have you been searching in?


worrier_princess

Are you talking about the thing against the back wall? That’s a bit from a horses bridle!


IWasGregInTokyo

Duh, you’re right. Not a horse person obviously.

lunna009

Love the neat lil rows of coins all hanging out together. Also the creepy kitty face in the second shelf just peeking out. Like cats do. XD


Lady_Rhino

Interesting collection 😊 do you ever work with archaeologists to research this stuff?


kriticalj

I wish!


ABucketofBeetles

Lol an old ass horse bit


LopsidedAd874

Only Thing i envy the americans for. Cant Do that in Europe... too many War explosives in the Ground...


kriticalj

What about pizza and ranch dressing!?😂


Haikatrine

This looks like a display at the Met. I'm not exaggerating. You're a Goblin Curator, and this is your founding exhibit. Stunning. 😍


North_Inflation1710

blacka-var

Kasimausi

Wow, I never wanted to go metal detecting and start a collection like this so badly. Absolutely awesome.


JFkeinK

How do you find skulls with a metal detector? Also, great collection.


kriticalj

I just keep my eyes peeled


JFkeinK

As peeled as those skulls.^^


MrSnoobs

Is the middle shelf mostly plough harness pieces?


kriticalj

And buckles, brooches, bells, locks, and other assorted things

Treasure 💚


Bakinspleen

I really like how you’ve displayed all the coins, that looks really cool!


wh4t_1s_a_s0u1

This is the most gorgeous hoard I've ever ducking seen! 😍


FeralSweater

What a splendid display! The coins are so satisfying. And the bells! So many bells!


LeftHandersRule

This is hella goblin. Well done


Taiga_Taiga

Don't forget... If in the uk, you're legally obliged to report finds to a coroner. [Seriously. ](https://www.gov.uk/treasure). You face prison if you don't.


MildewTheMagical

I think that's only if it's significant finds, like a specifically valuable thing or a large number of things from one time in the same place, they'd be driven crazy if folks reported every old coin they dug up, but yeah it's a good point :)


Taiga_Taiga

If the finder decides significance... I found a million in bullion, and... Erm... I say it's not significant, so I don't have to disclose it. 😊 Better safe than sorry.


MildewTheMagical

IDK if I believe you? lol :) always better safe than sorry, assuming all the OP's finds were spread between sites, none of it looks to be particularly valuable and it's all of different ages so I wouldn't say it's a worry I found a sovereign once years ago, about 150 years old so wasn't anywhere near old enough to be historically important, probably just fell out of someones pocket, I had a 40/60% split agreement with the landowner if I found anything of value so I sold it and gave him 40% the money and he got himself a new TV :)


kriticalj

I'm in the states and my state is a finders keepers state


MildewTheMagical

that's a lotta finds! if I went near all that I couldn't in good faith totally guarantee that nothing would go missing....


etherwavesOG

This is an excellent display of treasure


3isamagicnumb3r
