The snow is finally starting to melt, so maybe I will be able to try out the new coil, shovel, shovel clip, and rechargeable 9V batteries out and will therefore be able to post about finds. Already getting some places listed in order of appearance. However, for now some reads. Not too good about the last one.

Np Dan. I would love to have found silver that great. Even said Zeus was on it. I have been following the story of Alexander this summer. They first didn't know if it was his or his mother's tomb. Sad about the place GW stayed once but it's not close for us so nit a likely option. Been a lot if great archaeological finds this summer. Even watched last night a history channel on the desert near Niger With human remains over 6000 years old and that bones only get fossilized under water. Makes me wonder how many dino bones weathered away because they didn't die near a watery area. We can find our 100-300 ur old silvers here, Dan. Maybe one of us will get a cache over $1mil.
