Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2779943, member: 10461"]Digger's Diary: My Metal Detecting & Treasure Hunting Adventures by Robertson W. ("Rob") Shinnick (aka "lordmarcovan" in cyberspace) <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Diggers%20Diary/TTintro1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> This is going to be an extremely long process, but I'm very, very slowly working on photographing all my old detector finds, most of which were dug in my pre-Internet, pre-camera era.  I have not gotten very far yet.  But I figured I'd post what I had so far here, just for fun. <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Diggers%20Diary/TTintro2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> If I ever get off my hindquarters and resume the photography project (or break down in frustration and just send the whole album off to someone else to photograph), I'll post the new photos here. <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi88.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk173%2Flordmarcovan%2FDiggers%2520Diary%2FTTintro3.jpg&hash=34fc2be2c1ce4cf6d7fc672d1a7e5e07" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> In the meantime, I'll post some of what I have, and a few stories.  Late last year I started something called the "Epic Treasure Hunting Game' to make a fun project out of imaging the coins, and it was indeed fun, but far too labor-intensive for my schedule. <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Diggers%20Diary/TTintro4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> So I'll dribble out photos a few at a time as I create them.  This will be a lot of work just to show you a bunch of ugly coins.  But many are interesting as well as ugly, and some aren't ugly at all, despite their decades or centuries in the dirt. <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Diggers%20Diary/TTintro5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I hope you'll bear with my inconsistent schedule as I work on this. <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Diggers%20Diary/TTintro6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> We begin a quarter-century ago, in 1992...[/QUOTE]
