WELCOME TO THE FORUMMMMMMMMMMM.
And as to good and intelligent people here, of course there is, ME.
You sound like someone that is going to become a great coin collector someday and at 18, great start. I really don't know much about Paul Revere, not where he worked and even if he did but now your going to make me look it up. See what you did already. Keep on looking and you may find coins in that area from all sorts of history.

 

yea i already know he lived in north end boston and did some of his work up there, but like other amazing inventors he liked to work in peace and quiet. and if it were me working id work near a lake or river stream, and back then people use to hide there equitment outside so there spouses or enemies could not find it, i just dont know where to go from there though. maybe when i go to college ill have better luck with the research thats needed. and yea look it up, its great learning new things about our founding fathers, im currently studdying the works of benjamin franklen in hopes of finding out if he also made desighs for coins

 

Here's something Ben had a hand in.....

 

You could maybe get permission to investigate around his house:

 

A new "This Old House"?

 

Not much area to detect....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Revere_House

 

We could always knock down the house......:goofer:

 

Nah.... we just bring out the heavy artillery:

 

Now that is one scary piece of equipment.....

 

hahaha too funny. and i would have to have degrees or a city permit in order to investigate. and i dont think theyd appreciate it if i snook in, but back then important people such as ben franklen or mr. revere would build seperate pieces onto there house to hide documents or inventions from burgulars or intruders like the british, maybe there is one that just hasnt been discoverd yet. and that coin is beautiful, what exacly did ben do to be involved with it, desighn it???

 

i looked the coin up, it has the most brilliant meening and its actually a victorious medal. its truly a brilliant peice, iv never seen any medal like it before. thank you for telling me about it

 

Hey, ain't collecting and learning fun? :smile

 

While you are doing all this research and studying don't forget to also study English, especially spelling and punctuation.

It's great to type but the proper use of the English language helps your words to be taken more seriously.

 

As far as I know Paul Revere never did coin design, but I believe he did do some banknote plate engraving.

 

Without employing the google, wasn't he a silversmith?

 

it shouldnt be the spelling of the words but yet the exspression they represent. if i am trying to get a point across of that medal being spectacular then the spelling of the words should not be worried about, unless ofcoarse your an english teacher or major in english language then i completely understand and respect what you mean

 

Please understand that I am not complaining about your spelling or anything else. However, I can understand the previous point about using proper English or spelling when attempting to communicate. There are at least two reasons for this. The first is that the writer of a post has a certain responsibility to communicate with the reader without making the reader work too hard to decipher the intent or meaning of the writer. The second is that when one writes in a careless manner it can infer that they do not respect the topic or do not respect the reader. Obviously, this is typically not what any writer would want to infer.

 

Is that a real detector?

 

I concur.

English teachers teach English so that when folks become a member of the adult world, they can communicate effectively amongst their peers.

In the business and/or working world, written communication skills are also very important for the same reasons. I have seen first hand folks who were extremely intelligent, yet did not possess good English writing and verbal skills. In each case, they were passed-up for promotions, or struggled harder to attain such promotions.

In vocations where good writing skills are not a necessary requirement, I have always felt more confident as a customer of such folks who do indeed have better verbal skills.

Of course, in venues where I'm pounding beers with buddies and StS, such protocol doesn't apply!

...my two cents.
