my ego

That is great that you found a valuable plate worth $6,000 and I am happy for you as I'm sure other fellows are on this website. Don't let a silver dollar bust your ego. A great find is a great find and it's only more special if it's a first of a kind for someone even if it's only a silver dollar that might only worth about $20 or a nice plate such as yours that is worth $6,000. Suck it up and be happy for those of us who are happy to just find a silver coin of any denomination. I didn't think this website was meant to be any kind of a competition. Just a place for all of us to share our finds no matter what the numeric value might be. HH.

using my best celtic accent:
well now me fellow leprechaun, the luck ya speak about has treated me fairly good in the past, and I expect will continue to do so in the future.

the fact of matter is most blokes have no idea what yer talkin' bout when yer talkin' relics, and dumb looks are still free. They don't know a CS buckle from pint of Guinness stout, and they pretty much like it that way to boot! *L*

But it's a great find, and I don't even know much bout civil war relics. But I just got back from the homeland, and kissin' the Blarney stone. *L* j/k

now seriously perhaps you should get a digital camera and post pictures so people can see what you found. But keep in mind coins and jewelry will probably always get far more oooouuuu's and ahhhh's then
those old relics that fetch $6000 because most people haven't a clue, and they don't sparkle nor shine.

So just be glad you found something rare and laugh all the way from the collectors house, and have a pint of Guinness stout on me... *L*

well I hope at bare minimum I gave you a chuckle!

:please: :clap: :cheers: :hot: :clap: :jump: :yo:
:cam: :usaf: :thumbup: :geek:
 
And believe me he got his fair share of oooouuuu's and ahhhh's where he posted the pictures of CS buckle. It was a freaking beautiful thing to us relic guys ... me included.
Don't recall what kind of detector he was using though. I was to blown away to let that sink in and just starred at the pictures like it was a Playboy fold out. :lol:

Hello Sir,

I'm happy for your success in finding such a valuable relic. I do agree with another individual who posted a response, saying that this forum isn't really a contest forum. In terms of value, any find has its real dollar value, but it also has a significant personal value to the finder. I have never found anything of greater real value than a diamond ring, which was appraised by a jeweler at $550.00. In terms of personal value, I feel that the 1854 seated quarter I found last summer has been my most significant find. I'm out in the mountain west where statehood came in the 1890's. The very old coins and expensive relics just aren't found that are often here. There are very few exceptions.

If you want to write about ego, I just read my post from 12/3/05. It wasn't until today that I realized that I had dated both coins I mentioned in that post as 1876. The Barber dime was a 1916. I had the Russian coin on my mind and I listed that date for both coins. I edited that post today to repair my error, but I should have checked my post more thoroughly before I sent it. Now that's an ego issue.

Congratulations again on your truly great find.

Respectfully,

The Nutty Teacher
