Thank you Bucknut! It's been awhile since I have found a seated coin, and I can't wait to find one! Unfortunately, here in MN there are some fairly tight laws on metal detecting. That $5 bill was pure gravy :love:

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that! We are still tweaking a lot of things, but I am happy with the progress so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing your future finds! I'm living vicariously through posts of others' finds so far, but I'm planning to get out there very soon.

Thanks Dan and Tony! I'm glad that it still has that home feel, Dan. I'm still making a lot of appearance changes and functional tweaks, and it should continue to keep improving.

This is a beautiful find! This really inspires me to get out and start digging again. This will be one of the first new additions to the banner!

Thanks Tony! Did you post the thread before or after the forum was updated? If it was before, that was my fault -- I didn't think there had been any new posts/threads posted between the time we took the last data 'save' and the update. I'm sorry about that!

Hi Everyone, I received a message through the American Detectorist main web page asking if anyone can help to identify this coin. He said he and his wife found it in North Carolina in April (not sure if it was in the water or soil). He said it was crusted with salt and he soaked it in vinegar...

Classic. And everything everything EVERYTHING is a crisis! OMG. Shoot me now ________________________________________________________________ Me: Your tennis match tonight was just cancelled. Her: OMG!!!! SERIOUSLY??????? Her: THEY CANCELLED THE LAST ONE!!!! Her: THIS SUCKS Me: You know I...

On this dark day, remembering 14 years ago and our terrible losses.

These are great stories everyone. Keep em' coming. I'll stick with detecting... probably everyone has heard this story by now, but it's just so statistically wild that I have to keep telling it. This was quite a few years ago. The VERY first time I took out my brand new ACE 250 (never even...

John at JMT metal detectors (a sponsor of AD - see his banner at the top of the page) has generously donated a brand new Tesoro Silver UMax metal detector to American Detectorist to be given away as a contest prize to one lucky member! Thank you John!!! ~ Stay tuned everyone! We are...

Hmmm. I used to laugh and joke about this too Steve. :lol: (I still do sometimes) However, I have learned something. I was born and raised in Iowa so I know snow. However, after living here in the south (Kentucky) for the last 7+ years, I have a new appreciation for two inches of freezing rain...

:lol: Here are some other good signs.... Not necessarily spelling issues
