How about this?

Hello Friends,
I was going to do electrolysis on the spur from my recent trip to Germany but upon closer examination I could see shiny under the rust. I realized the spur had been "tinned." ...

Thanks very much! You really know your celtic coins too. The gas was terrible. More than 100 euros to fill up the car! I'm having trouble understanding the translation of "Schönaich." Is it a...

Drew, when I posted my group reply the forum glitched and kept telling me I needed to enter at least 2 characters. After about the 10th try to reply I just typed 12 to see if it worked and it did!

I'm pretty sure I saw that anchor/fouled rope cufflink recently on an episode of mudlarking the Thames and I think they said War of 1812, but I could also be wrong about that!

Some pretty good keepers in your pouch Tony! Congrats on being able to get out and also making some good finds.

Wow, what a week I had! Good German Beer, good German Food, laughter till midnight with the guys, and detecting all day in ancient forests! I brought back over 10 pounds of iron relics dating to...

In the military we call this type of fastener a "frog." Although I have never seen a sterling one before!

Now THAT is funny! I don't care who you are!! :coffeelaugh:

My Deus II (with 11-inch coil) has arrived and is waiting for me in Germany! In April I will be spending about 8 days detecting in the Swabian Alps with 6 other guys and living the good life! ...

Hey sometimes the treasure is up, not down!

Great finds Del and awesome restorations! You are obviously a master at conserving and restoring relics and coins. Happy digging, Dave.

Air temp doesn't matter to me much, but frozen ground pretty well stops the digging.

Nice finds! The U.S. Army switched to the great seal button design in 1903. There have been some subtle changes to the background but the button is basically the same for over 100 years now. The...

My D2 arrived this week but it's in Germany waiting for me to come back in April for a weeklong detecting get-a-way with my buddies! 7 of us are renting a house in our favorite region to detect in!

My Deus II has arrived at my friend's house in Germany and I will pick it up in April when I come visit him for 7 days of amazing detecting!

I've seen these before. It's usually a bible verse or some other positive statement that fits in your wallet like a credit card. I'm not sure of the age though. Great eyeball find though!

Congrats. A trime is on my wish list!

Nice finds, reminds me of my finds in Germany. Do you plan on going back?

Awesome contest Drew! Congrats to Chris for winning although I want to see the pics from your beauty salon make-over! LOL

Welcome to our wonderful group and back to the hobby of treasure hunting! It's good to have another "Illinois Boy" on the team. I'm guessing you are in the Chicago area (?). Like you, I also...

Drew, what can you tell us about the coin with the Fleur-de-lis counter stamp? Is it a French Liard? I'm guessing Louis XVI timeframe with that stamp.

Here's my counter stamped coins:

What? And you call yourself a DETECTORIST! This show is so funny and so true about detecting. You need to watch it ASAP!
