That was indeed an epic find. But no, I am not especially talented as a detectorist. Just occasionally lucky. I was the least successful of six...
That's a nice find. I'll take free silver any way I can get it! This one knocked the wind out of me when I dug it up. It came in as a shallow...
This was my first detector find from the 1800s. It was only my second silver coin found with a modern detector, in August of 1993, and is the...

It is a matter of personal taste. I suppose some people find them distracting. I do think those people are in the minority. Most find them...
While it's true the UK has used rampant lions and (in the past) a fleur-de-lis in their various royal and national emblems, both of those symbols...
A little bit, but it's not. It's definitely Venezuela. No horse or cornucopias in the Dominican Republic's coat of arms. No book or cross in...
True 'dat. Dem Coca-Cola peoples will pay all kinds of money for that stuff! (Probably not so much for the example I pictured above though, ya...

Hey, hey Deacon Ray - Wanna trade fer mine? :D [IMG]
