Congratulations John on your article in The Searcher!

[cwilk]

I see you once again had a testimonial published in "The Searcher." Nice story. I recognize all those finds from here too!

I don't know if any other regulars here were also published. I must say this was a particularly good issue. Most of the finds were a cut above. Made me feel like detecting! I'm glad I found something old today or I'd probably go out for a night hunt.

I also thought of our own Uncle Willy when the old timer declared he had found over 100,000 coins. I sure wish Bill would sit down and tally up his lifetime finds. Come on Bill, inspire me! I shouldn't take more than a week or two.

If you have a testimonial included please respond to this thread.

Lordy I passed 100,000 years ago.

So what's the total? 150K? 250K? 500K?

Thanks Chris. Last year was a good ring year. This year is shaping up pretty good too.

 

[John-Edmonton]

And how many years ago was that?

 

[John-Edmonton]

And most of them were silver too, as he got an earlier start then most of us.

 

[Uncle Willy]

At my age more than I can remember.

Yeah started in about 1963 with a Metrotech, a primo detector of the day. Surprisingly I think they are still in business but make only commercial detectors.
