Now your hitting close to home ,100 miles or so if that's the guy i read about. Wonder why Firestone made those, will check it out. Looks lie Firestone gave them to employee's heading to war. Cant make out the star except for sept. 17.

found this about the 8th cav.. 1905–42 In 1905, the regiment was ordered to the Philippines with the assignment of defending the islands from guerrilla activity. In addition, they patrolled supply and communications lines and sources of water on the islands of Luzon and Jolo. The Regiment returned to the United States briefly in 1907, but in 1910, the 8th Regiment returned to the Philippines for their second tour of Pacific duty. This time the troopers fought the rebellious tribesmen on the island of Mindanao and in the Sulu Archipelago. In the battle of Bansak Mountain in June 1913, a total of 51 members of the 8th Cavalry's Troop "H" joined other soldiers in a violent battle with hundreds of Moro warriors on Jolo. In September 1914, the regiment was stationed at Camp Stotsenburg, Philippine Islands and performed the usual garrison duties. On 21 September, it joined with the 7th Cavalry Regiment to form a provisional cavalry brigade. Returning to the United States on 12 September 1915, the regiment was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, as part of the 15th Cavalry Division. Troops were dispatched along the border for the purpose of subduing the activity of Mexican bandits who were giving the ranchers a great deal of trouble. Responding to a border raid at Columbus, New Mexico, by Pancho Villa, an expedition led by John J. Pershing was launched into Mexico on 15 March 1916. First Lieutenant George Smith Patton, Jr. was one of Pershing's aides-de-camp.[7] On 31 July 1916 a US Customs officer and a private were killed and a sergeant wounded in a clash between the 8th Cavalry and Mexican bandits of whom five were killed.[8] "On April 7, 1918; there was a skirmish with Mexican bandits. In Commanding at Fort Hancock during this time from Dec 2, 1917 to May 10, 1918, was Capt. Thomas Henry Rees, Jr."[9] On 13 September 1921, with the initiation of the National Defense Act, the 1st Cavalry Division was formally activated at Fort Bliss, Texas. The first unit of the 1st Cavalry Division, the 1st Cavalry Regiment, had been preassigned to the 1st Division on 20 August 1921, nearly a month before the formal divisional activation date. Upon formal activation, the 7th, 8th, and 10th Cavalry Regiments were assigned to the new division. It served as a horse cavalry regiment until 1942, when it took part in amphibious training

What do you know about that ying hung thing? That exchange token is fantastic.

What a haul!

Interesting, if it's sturdy i think it would be great to protect the pod. And i bet the backpackers would love something like that.

That is impressive! Were they very deep?

I know it's not but that notch in it reminds me of army dog tags?

Yeah, good thing he bought two ?. I don't care either about origin but past experience has shown most to be lame, intentional or not.

I smell Chinese auto translate

I had the same problem after updating along with jumpy ID's and audio. Went back to original 1.5 and the words right again.

I did mine with a 36" carbon fiber tube but left the lower factory length. Also canted control box in slightly and like that even though it wasn't planed My lower fits perfect, no slop and one of pluggers clamps keeps it tight. What did he use the epoxy for, the holes?

The 600 would be less hassle instead of 2 different systems to keep in your head.

I was just saying these guy's were probably cherry picking silver. And they did a good job too!

Had it with me today at a river swimming beach. Practiced interrogating signals and dug more clad and junk jewelry then Bottle caps and pull tabs, had fun.

When i got my first Tesoro (1996?)i went to a fresh water beach and two guy's with Minelabs were just leaving. I never saw a Minelab before and still remember thinking they looked like a goverment survey crew with all the hard cases and gear sitting in the truck bed. They told me they didn't leave me much to find. I found about 13 nickles , a gold bead earring and 2 clad dimes.

I'm very happy with my 800 but cant seem to let go of my golden µmax. Just hoping the EQ holds up half as well.

I have been searching for a towns original site for years. I wore my computer out on Google earth looking. Everything i read pointed to down stream from town's present site but couldn't find it but there was a spot upstream quite a ways that seemed odd and disrupted. Then the GLO maps came out and that was the place! Hard to see it from the road due to terrain and brush but with layering lidar, glo, and google earth i could walk it with my phone. Amazing, oh not a chance in heck for permission. I still try☺️.

You got your nickles worth that time!

I do that a lot, and today i turned the blue tooth off instead of user profile.

here is a list of some American Digger Magazine http://www.americandigger.com/ Coin Hunter Magazine http://www.thecoinhunter.com/ Relic Hunter Magazine http://www.relic-hunting.com/ Western & Eastern Treasures http://www.wetreasures.com/

Yeah anything over .22 cal would definitely be old. .22's i would have to have a head stamp guide to tell if they were really old.

still make in .22 or .17 calibers☺️

I couldn't figure that out , loading groove, cylinder pin, and a top break hinge?

How long are the uppers and does it come with that twist-lock?

Cool find! looks like a smith ( Otis A. Smith Company ) from i can search. The new model was steel frame, yours looks like brass?
