    Is there platinum in some common obtainable items?

    I have been reading up on platinum. Where would be some common things besides jewelry to find platinum? I use to work at a semi-conductor plant that closed down. They would throw away things and had no idea what they were throwing away. I have lots of microscope lenses valued at $1,800 apiece...

    I found the oldest wheat and an early Minie.

    I wasn't doing so well the other day. The place I was at was just trash. I moved on to two other places and came out ahead. At least I found two wheat's. It took a while to clean up the 1909 cent I found and it still looks bad. The 1956 wheat has great detail and a big cut in it. [attachment...

    I plead stupid. I need help on a Minnie ball ID.

    I hunt around old homes. Today wasn't going so well and I came across this. I found a round lead ball 1/4 mile form this Minnie ball. I seem to find a lot of the round ones. This is the first Minnie ball I have found. I checked the web site on Minnie balls, but it was asking me questions that I...

    Final post on Fl. trip: jewelry and misc.

    I was taking my daughter to her doctor and drove right by Kellyco's. I bought my daughter lunch and told her to eat it in the car while I go into Kellyco's. It is where dreams can come true. Most everyone remembered me, even J.W. came out of his office to say hi. Man I love that place. This is...

    I found some coins while I was in Fl.

    While I was in Fl. my daughter's Peruvian friend found out I like civiche. She made it for me three times in one week. OK, I had enough. I am back to chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. It was nice to be in my old neighborhood again. This playground gave up a gold necklace and a lot of nickels...

    When I left there was snow, when I returned there was snow.

    I had quite a time driving to WV from Fl. yesterday. I didn't do as much MD'ing as I would have liked, but I never do as much MD'ing as I like.:rofl: My daughter and I had to take a break at a park one day. I was walking around the swings brushing the wood chips with my foot. I knew there had...

    I'm stuck in Fl.

    Things aren't going well with the babies. No MD'ing. Maybe my last night on the computer for a while. Keep MD'ing and take pictures so I can see all the great finds you all get.

    People who work neonatal are special people.

    We are in a wait and see on the twins. Maybe I will get to bring them home early next week. We were in 3 hours of training on how to care for preemies and CPR. Got away for a little MD'ing today which made me late for supper. They have set times at The Hubbard House to eat. Where we are staying...

    Going nuts in a nutty state.

    I came to Fl. to get my new grandkids. They said we could have them. Then they started having some more health problems. Spending a lot of time in the hospital. It is amazing how much time can be taken up learning a monitor, CPR and feeding twins in the hospital, plus some legal issues. Only got...

    The ground was so frozen at this house today #$%&!! I'm taken off to FL.!!!!

    I'm going down this week to bring my daughter and the babies to WV. Of course I need a few days lay over to recoup while I am down there.:detecting::twodetecting::twodetecting::detecting:

    Four wheat's and two no date buffalo's nickels.

    My cousin is so tight, he told me I'd be lucky to find a penny. He will turn his keys over to the state Monday. He is moved out and today, told me to take over. :rofl: The ground was still half frozen. [attachment 80932 2-15-08house.jpg] Oh no, I am MD'ing around a grave. I hope this is just a...

    I wonder if I can get thrown in jail for doing this?

    I wrote the parks dept. and ask them if MD'ing is allowed in the parks in WV. I didn't see anything in the regulations about it. Since it is not illegal to use a MD'er in itself, just digging and removal is illegal. Can I just go there and a swing a detector and see what beeps. Of course I will...

    Three strikes and I have one bad attitude!!

    I talked to a lady about MD'ing an old school. It use to set in a corner of a field and was torn down in the early 50's. It was 60F and we talked for 45 minutes. My wife's aunt was her neighbor till she past away. We knew a lot of the same people. She had no problem about me MD'ing there, but...

    WARNING FROM PAKISTAN

    This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States and Canada that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's and Canada's supply of convenience store owners and managers. And if this...

    A day in the ice, mud and rain.

    I went out MD'ing this vacant house in between the rain. About one quarter of the ground was frozen. [attachment 80115 2-4-08house.jpg] I leave most of my trash there and bring home the stuff I want to investigate farther. They are going to demo the house and build a hi-way through it...

    I can't believed it, I got thrown off private land.

    Even after I got permission. Last Friday I ask a worker if I could MD the house he was working on. He said sure. I said are you the owner. He said no and I said I won't MD property without the owner's say so. He said no problem, come back Monday. He said he will talk to the owner by then. The...

    The Ace is made for Florida. It works sooo well there.:detecting:

    I got back from my trip to Fl. Monday night. My daughter and the twins are doing great even though they were two months early. There weren't man days I could MD. When I could get away, which one day was for 30 minutes, I did most of my MD'ing at Delaney Park in Orlando. It was a yuppie park...

    This place is killing me.

    It was 80 F today and I didn't do any swinging. I am too busy driving my daughter around. I am trying to teach her the area while taking her to the doc. and all the other places she has to go. It is driving me crazy!!!!!! Two days ago I was with my wife and she had to find a baby store to buy...

    I got two, today!

    I found two rings MD'ing. It looks like one says 425 and the other one is heavy, but can't see the markings. They are both silver looking. Also found silver ear ring and a 925 broken bracelet. Five wheat's to boot. City people definitely lose more jewelry than county people. I dug for two hours...

    The weather turned cold, but I can handle it. I won't let the 60's stop me.

    Just having fun. I have to hunt the parks around Orlando. They are all hunted pretty heavily. I will be near my old home area near the end of the week MD'ing near DeLand. I am enjoying it while I can. It is cold and snowing in WV. What a break from winter!!!
