    (January 2021 edit: this old index thread is incomplete and was not kept updated.)

    Hopefully anyone who'd like to see my collected content will find this useful, but it's mostly for my own archiving purposes. I probably should've been blogging for the last decade or so instead of posting all my content on discussion boards, but I'm stuck in my ways.

    Most of my older stories were on the Collectors Universe site (and the now-defunct 24-Hour Forums), and a few on Treasurenet, but through software changes on CU and various other attrition issues with sites and image hosts, some stories have been lost or have broken images, etc. I've been gradually transferring the workable ones over here.

    STORIES, ARTICLES, ETC.

    Videos
    (I call the metal detecting videos "Dirty Movies" because they're literally dirty, as in, digging in the dirt. Don't worry - they're safe for the kiddies.)

    Added some links.

    Still compiling. This is a work in progress.

    We're only allowed one link in our signatures so mine leads to this index now.

    I'm trying to link up most of my "better" content.

    "Better" being a relative term, of course. ;)

    Thanks due to @GDJMSP for allowing me temporary editing privileges for updates like this.

    If you don’t mind, here is a January 2023 thread resurrection, for anyone (particularly the newer folks) who didn’t get the chance to read this stuff. This is an outdated and incomplete index, as I said in my 2021 edit to the original post, but I thought it would be nice to give folks a chance to read these older stories.

    (Please forgive me for honking my own horn a bit too loudly.)
