Hi folks, got a question. This is a 35 Merc I found yesterday. In the first picture notice how dark gray it is. The coin was found flat up against an old sidewalk about 4 inches down. Got it home and started to try to clean it. Started with water and a toothbrush. Added liquid soap. Nothing...

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A one-cent copper coin minted in 1793, the first year that the United States produced its own coins, has fetched $1 million at a Florida auction. The Orlando Sentinel reports (http://thesent.nl/xZBfyw ) that the final bid by an unknown buyer for the coin was one of the...

Went to a new rental property today. Found nothing but clad and junk. Had to go qualify with the new 1911. Then on the way home decided to stop at a local park that has been hunted to death. I always manage to find something there every time I go. Today was no different. A 1955-D Wheat and a '64...

Happy New Year folks. Got out for a short hunt this morning. Went to an old abandoned hospital that had a nursing school at one time. This place has been hunted and hunted before all the weeds and brush grew where you couldn't. I found out that at one time, next to the nurses home was a tennis...

Hello, got another question. I have read a lot of post about people selling their silver coins for the melt value. I'm confused on this. Isn't it still against the law to destroy US currency? I know I have read about people hoarding copper pennies in the hope of one day that they will...

Well, I was off work today and had decided that I was through MDing untill after Christmas. But the 70 degree temps would not leave me alone. Soooooo off I went. Went to a rental house that was probably built in the 40's. In a very rough area of town as can be seen by one of the finds. Found...

I have noticed in the magizine ads that the Fisher F75 Ltd and the Teknetics T2 Ltd are identical in looks. Are these the same machine? Are they made by the same people? Just curious. Thanks in advance.
