No thank you WD. Just had Lasik a few years back and that was the best money I ever spent, well with exception of metal detecting equipment of course.

Hope you get that retina attached again.

Welcome Seagull!

Thanks guys. Back is better. Just an fyi if you have back pain. It was my hip flexor muscle and doing a lunge stretch and raising the opposite arm was all I had to do (after a few chiropractor...

Wow, those are nice looking buttons!

Well, sometimes it isn't about the finds, but the company of good people. Glad you guys got out to detect together.

Awesome coin Drew! Looks like it is in good condition.

congrats on the finds! I am still looking for my first 2 cent piece. Someday it will happen. Thanks for sharing.

Very kind of you fyrfytr1!

Thanks Drew! Now I need an SLQ with a date!!

Hi all - hit an 1870 property that I door knocked earlier in the week. The guy was a little gruff, but he said I don't care if you detect, but you are not going to find anything but horseshoes. FYI...

Jared - yes, you are spoiled, but at least you are sharing with us all. I am so happy for you that you are finding these relics/silver. It is absolutely amazing.

Oxen were used earlier and then they start with horses and the the "iron horse" around 1900. John Deere at that time gave away some of the first tractors and farmers loved them. Once that happened,...

Thank you all and sorry for late responses.

Chris - 15 grams or roughly 1/2 ounce. The markings have "PLAT" on it and from what I read it is 95.5% pure platinum.

Drew - I don't know why...

Haven't had the greatest start to the year, but I am also trying a bunch of new areas and I tend to detect too fast. I was out hiking on some state forest area (cannot detect in WI) and on the way...

Really awesome finds! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Drew - Rivers will move over 100s of yards over time. It is quite remarkable what mother nature can do.

No one likes a stick to the eye Tony. Glad you got out and found some keepers!

Great finds! Off to a solid start this year!!

Congrats Don and Alec!!

I wish I had a strong vocabulary John. All I can say are swear words to those finds! Congrats!!!

BTW, I was reading in a local book about a group of people that lived on the vertical part of...
