    Got a couple of Mr Garretts books for Christmans

    I got a copy of "The New Successful Coin Hunting" and "Treasure Hunting for fun and Profit". I've read the coin hunting one and while there is a lot of really good information in there, I'm disappointed in one respect. This is the 15th printing, June 2007 and while it was reprinted then, it...

    Snowing furiously as we speak....

    Supposed to get around 3 inches with another storm coming through for the weekend. Actually this is a good thing since every day with no snow cover, the frost moves deeper. It's probably 6 iches or more already. Obviously,the deeper the frost, the longer it will take to thaw next spring...

    West point Atlas of American Wars.

    I own a two volume set of these with maps of every engagement from the French and Indian wars thru Korea. They have maps of battlefields with (sometimes) hour by hour updates as to where each unit was located, how they advanced or retreated. These are hand drawn maps which show terrain...

    If I could interrupt the AT forum for a moment...mystery solved

    Sometime back I posted a picture and asked if anyone could identify it and evidently no one knew what it was. This weekend I showed it to my nephew and the next day when I came into the house He said "hey, look at your sleeve" I thought I had gotten into some grease or the gravy or something...

    In thinking about next spring already..............

    .............what is the effect of a winter of freezing and thawing on objects lost in the ground? Is it worth rechecking grounds that I have hit pretty hard this summer in hopes that the freezing has pushed new objects up:? I remember that in the spring we always had to pick up a new crop of...

    for I'm a jolly good fellow.........

    Last week I was lamenting the fact that I had found 49 wheaties this summer but one more was proving elusive. Then I found one in my pocket change but was told " you can't count that one...you gotta dig it" So today I was out for about an hour (nearly froze my fingers off!) and found two in...

    Evidently someone else in town has a detector....

    I have yet to run into anyone with one in any park for 20 miles around but I was talking to a older fellow in the park tonight who told me that early in the summer he saw someone else with one here in town. He was told that he bought it at a rummage sale and was trying it out. He said the guy...

    Late season hunt gives up silver

    Ball diamond where I have been a couple of times before and almost straight out from second base - 1947 Dime. Weather is supposed to turn tonight, so might be near the end of the season for this area. Not much else there by the way. 2 pennys, 2 dimes and 1 nickle plus an amazing amout of...

    Unorthodox find

    Last week I realized that I have found 49 wheat pennys this summer and I REALLY wanted to find number 50. Since we've been having unseasonably warm weather, I'v been out every day after work making the rounds of all the parks one last time. LOts of pennys but all memorials. So tonight I'm...

    How many hints does it take?

    Had about an hour after work today and decided I'd better go out one last time. I was out for about 20 minutes when I noticed that my 250 was showing less than half on the battery indicator. so I'm thinking that it is a hint that my season is over. No sense putting in new batteries when it's...

    Supposed to be a nice day on Sunday....

    So maybe I can reach one of my benchmarks. This afternoon I found wheatie number 49 for the summer. It sure would be nice to find one more....or maybe not even stop there. It's unusual for us to hit the mid 50's in November so I intend to enjoy it. I keep thinking this may be the last nice...

    How about another ethical question?

    I know of three houses within a half mile of me that have been repossesed. they have been sitting empty since last winter or early spring and the contact info is a toll free number which is some out of state corporation. There is virtually no chance of calling that number and talking to a real...

    Finally found my diamond ring

    Unforturately, it's neither diamonds nor gold. Waaahhhh! Came from a tot lot at a city park, at the foot of the slide. The plating is worn off in places. MrGee

    An interesting ring

    I think that this is a Borgia poison ring...or maybe for a picture. Pretty interesting, but not particularly valueable. It's stamped Avon on the inside so you can guess how good a ring it is. Still, interesting. MrGee

    Any body remember Herbert Hoover?

    Found this about 3 inches deep at a ball diamond, just outside the 1st base line. I found one just like it on ebay from a collectible shop in Portland, Or (I think it was in Portland). It was in a lot better shape than this one and had no bids yet. The back details some of his...

    How do you like me now...

    This is the token to end all tokens. According to the date this was made in 1970 and since silver was about $2 per ounce then, it is actually silver. It is the same size as a Morgan dollar but I don't have a scale to compare weights between the two. Hoffman house was a family restaurant...
