    V 4.1 headphones

    My understanding is Version 4.0 is for stereo components and stereo operation. Version 4.1 is the non-stereo version for the legacy hardware or for people who don’t wish to operate in stereo mode. Non-stereo headsets with version 4.0 will not function properly and will not operate in stereo...

    Another round at the 1860’s home site

    I’ve been systematically combing an 1860’s home site as construction work continues to shift dirt around. No old coins or tokens this time (one wheat), but I still found some items comparable in age to when the house was built. The intact half of shoe buckle is the first shoe buckle I have...

    V 4.1 headphones

    In addition, V4.1 is the non-stereo software version for pre-stereo hardware, and all components must be on the same version to function. V4.0 is the stereo version and only works for stereo headphones (but again all components must be on the same software version). If you buy stereo headphones...

    Great day to be out

    That is a nice handful of flat buttons!

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    Thank you! Any time I see that distinctive green hue like you can see on Indian head pennies and old wheats (usually 1920’s and older) I think 100+ years old. Back then, it seems people typically either had a different notion of the best design for an item, or a higher percentage of the...

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    There is an overall greenish hue under the surface layer of cemented grime. There are also a few spots of reddish brown. So, it could be copper. I generally assume anything with that green color is probably brass instead of pure copper (largely because I do not accumulate enough of either to...

    Bucket list coin...........

    Congratulations on the half cent! That denomination is still on my bucket list - unless you count some mostly rotted zincs…

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    I agree with you there! I’m always happy with a more recent IHP, let alone one of the earlier ones.

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    Thank you! I have no idea what it is. Someone else suggested it was for roasting multiple marshmallows at one time. 🤣

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    Yes it does! And believe me, as long as it continues to do so I will continue to return…

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    Thanks! I have to wonder how many of these 1860s IHPs were lost as the house was being constructed.

    Last week's finds

    They are still in business! I wonder if they might have a record of when that was manufactured?

    Last week's finds

    That token cleaned up nicely! Can you make out the print under the 15?

    The 1860’s homesite delivers again!

    Construction work continues at an old house site, and more dirt has been moved. This site has delivered a large cent, several IHPs including an 1864L and 1868, several tokens (including one for military goods with a civil war date), a 1918 merc, and a minie ball (possible Morgan’s Raid). I...

    Identification of what my wife believes isn't a rock

    A close-up view of one of your pictures appears to show fine dark lines separated by wider light colored lines. So, there does appear to be fine-scale mineral layering in your sample. I suspect the parting layer may be a former chlorite or mica-rich layer left over from when the sample passed...

    Identification of what my wife believes isn't a rock

    This does not appear to be columnar basalt, nor does it appear to be basalt. It does appear to be metamorphic. You can see layering on the rough sides. Put simply, gneiss is a metamorphic rock characterized by layering from separation of minerals during the metamorphic process. So I would...

    Straw field finds

    A fantastic combination of finds!

    Hello everyone

    If he is asking about all of the shallow rounded depressions or holes in the rocks, I would guess they are derived the same way as similar features created by American Indians. They could be flour grinding stations.

    First Harmonica Cover

    Looks like extra solid cover to me. Congrats, I’ve never found one!

    Two wars for the price of one

    Great information, thank you! Has anyone else noticed that a lot of times with these Indian heads, there is a good side and a less good side? One side tends to clean up nicely and the other side is, for lack of a better term, waxy? Thankfully, for this coin, the good side was the front. I have...
