    I found hundreds of pounds in 6 months detecting 1 hour per day

    Howdy jeffc-- I never made a living detecting but this hobby has more than paid for itself. I purchased silver ounces with my clad finds when silver was $4-$5 per ounce and I have always recycled copper, brass and lead. The recycling , alone, has paid for my detectors( and I run a V3i now) and...

    Reunited with my V3i

    Howdy coinspader-- Congratulations on getting your V3i back! I'm sure that you will have no regrets on making this re-uniting deal. In my opinion you now have the best detector ever made! Because of health reasons, I have only been able to detect 3 times in the last year so I have been relegated...

    Lost, Found, Sold then Gifted...

    Howdy-- About 15 years ago a detectorist in New Mexico dug a couple of 1916-D Mercs. He sold them to my old hunting buddy Kenneth who had them slabbed and then resold them to a mutual friend. Over the years I helped the new owner with a few of his projects. When he decided to liquidate his...

    Back on the river for more silver seated barbers SLQ.

    Howdy Mark-- Congratulations on those finds! That's good advice to detect near streams, rivers etc. I learned that in the early 1980's. I was captain of a team in an Eight Ball pool league in western NY (We took 1st place in 2 consecutive years). After a match, the boys would indulge in adult...

    White's Spectra V3i is a 'Legend'

    Excellent find, Coast! That's a very attractive piece of bling. That's a classic example of the finds that can be made by the V3i in the hands of a skilled user! Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Saga of my friends $20 Double Eagle: 99% sure its real!

    Ronstar, I agree with you. I'm curious, what did Spokane say was the downside in getting that coin graded? Yes, I know that it would probably get a "VF Details - Damaged" or "VF Details - Cleaned" grade. From my experience, rarities such as this have a strong market in ALL grades. Problem coins...

    Saga of my friends $20 Double Eagle: 99% sure its real!

    Howdy Ronstar-- It sounds like it was worth the trip to Spokane. Whenever I have researched a coin, one of my first steps was to go to the Heritage Auctions websight and search the coin on "Past Auction Results". There you can find professional photoes, hammer price, grade and date of sale. In...

    Need a little help here with coin grading

    Ronstar-- It's great that your friend has that provanonce on that coin. Take my grading with a lump of salt - I've always been a tough grader. I'd rather UNDERgrade a coin than overgrade one. Even if it comes back with a "details" grade, cleaned or damaged, it's STILL a coin that most collectors...

    Need a little help here with coin grading

    Howdy Ronstar-- I looked at the picture again and I have a few questions. The blue/white coloration streaks between the folds of Miss Liberty's gown, is that a result of lighting or the photography? I noticed the same occurrence on the tips of the eagles wings and on Miss Liberty's blouse and in...

    Need a little help here with coin grading

    Howdy Ronstar--- Without having the coin in hand, I would say VF 25 at best. Note the flat spot at the top of the eagle's wing. Another concern that I would have is the number of "hairlines" on both the obverse and the reverse indicating a past cleaning. The rim nicks will hold the grade down...
