Actually, that symbol was the symbol of Good Luck before it was associated with The Idiot.

Your letter carrier could have jammed it closed. Maybe he got a little too close and hit it with his mirror, bent it, decided to straighten it himself, couldnt do a good job and jammed it closed. He...

I havnt got to that point yet, but I think the tennis racquet tape is the way to go.

Judy, Judy, Judy..........is this thing a go :sleepy:

I agree with Epi....I would say the intention of that wording in an ordinance would be placed there to stop metal detecting. I would ask some more questions to those in the know before swinging my...

No sealant here. It a good idea to be able to remove it every now and then to clean. I clean mine after every hunt. A little water that gets between the cover and coil will not hurt the detector....

Just in melt value alone I made my fee back and more. I think it was more fun just getting together with other detectors and having some fun. This club was a 100 miles away from me and I only know a...

It was fun. Nice break from the usual and a pocket full of coins to boot :clapping:

As the title says Coin Shoot. Club sanctioned coin shoot. And YES, they were dug...........half ass dug :teasing:

Not a bad morning. Had a great time.......

I've been trying to have one of my finds identified and have gotton a lot of could be's. I wrote to Relic Hunter Magazine and they were great to publish it in their Nov/Dec issue.........Page 27

Button looks to be a great seal button...prob 1902-1910 era.... great finds !!!

Whats your thoughts on this......a member of our detecting club identified it as a piece to a gunpoweder flask.......

Thanks....anyone else have any ideas ?

I agree with you 110 %. I cherry pick an area with a normal swing speed and have noticed that if I go back over the same area with a snail pace swing speed that I've picked up a lot that was left...

That small piece in the pictures looks like it was brazed on the top of the item. It looks like it (the small piece) was some kind of clip or loop.

What say you :huh:thinkingabout: Dug this where I've recovered several other mid 1800's items.........any way to date these things :huh:thinkingabout:?

Packing my bags......be there in the morning. :drool:

Great score. Good luck.

Around my neck of the woods you need one of these to get through the calache layer........

Back to the same park I've been hitting the last three times. Over 300 coins and counting so far. Nothing heart stopping yet. Some wheaties, a silver 1894 Mexican 10 centavos, a couple of tax tokens,...

Back to the same park today for three hours. Netted 60 more coins (152 coins so far) and some misc. including this 1894 Mexican 10 Centavos coin. Too bad it was hacked up for a novelty coin :angry:
...

Here's the two tokens I found. The one on the left appears to be a arcade token or something simular. The one the right turns out to be a Arizona State Tax Token circa 1940's. As you can see be the...

Unfortunately no silver this time around. Went to a local park yesterday and I guess I'm getting rid of the easy stuff so I can get down to real business........

Also dug two (2) tokens of some...
