    Silver at $50 Gold at $4000

    This may be good for detectorists, but high gold prices always mean something bad is happening with the economy. My workplace has seen steady decline since the beginning of this year. It worries me.

    Need help with old British coin

    Here’s some pics with better contrast. It looks like a feminine profile. I couldn’t tell you if it’s globe or pillars. I was hoping you could. Found it! You got me on the right track. Bad news is: It’s a fake! This is supposed to be gold, but alas, it’s brass. It must have had gold plating once...

    Need help with old British coin

    I found a street that was scraped down to the original soil. There were 2 layers of concrete sandwiching a layer of asphalt, then a rock base. A railroad track ran down the center of the street back when it was just a dirt road. There was still an edge of the railway ballast visible so that’s...

    Imperial name plate

    No attachment points. Some kind of adhesive?

    Imperial name plate

    I found this pic of a 1940s-1950s Imperial wood lathe. It’s very similar and maybe a 1920s-1930s nameplate would match.

    That dome was 200’ tall

    Yeah, I was shocked how great it looked. Usually those old centavos are toasted.

    Imperial name plate

    I've tried to find a Chrysler/Imperial that might have had this name plate but none have looked like this. It's made of solid brass so I figured it must be pre-WWII. It could have come from some type of appliance or machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1891 was the last one. A huge flood sealed the fate of future Corn Palaces there. The huge recovery costs left nothing for frivolity.

    Every site is like a history lesson, if history was fun.

    Today’s lesson: “The Corn Palace Folly” and “Fiberglass” In 1887, the people of Sioux City, Iowa decided to build a palace completely covered with corn and corn parts, everything corn. The first year was such a hit, they built it even bigger the following year resulting in hand-over-fist profits...

    Same site/Different detector/10yrs later

    That’s what I thought of too. I tried finding one that looked like this one one, but no. I guess it could have been a throttle off some other kind of machinery. Thanks for the response.

    Same site/Different detector/10yrs later

    I found this site 10 yrs ago when I had a Whites DFX. That’s the 1st pic. The 2nd pic was Labor Day weekend with a Minelab 3030. This place is full of iron, but I love it because the ground is sand and easy to dig no matter the weather. I found the pulley from the water well while digging the...
