    Old Silver?

    Interesting that we all find pretty much the same stuff, but as far as late 1700's or early 1800' Silver, I see very little of this in American Currency. I wonder why....too deep? Not as much around? I sure would like to see one of us with a super find like that.. If someone has found these in...

    Gold Machine?

    I know there are machines best for gold nuggets, but are there any machines designed to find it in parks? Is there a perfect machine that would let you ID gold like a good detector lets you ID coins, minimizing tabs and trash digs?

    whispered from the depths

    At 12, this is the deepest coin I have ever dug. 20' from where i found the reale last month, I have been over this area several times.
