Basically it boils down to how strong of a marriage you have (assuming you are married or with a significant other).  Metal detecting soaks up a very large amount of time.  Especially if you have success with it.  When I show my finds to my wife, she reminds me she doesn't need a metal detector (she finds loads of coins in parking lots and the Coin Star machines!!!!)  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Well his location is shown as Calif.  I would think so.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

I can always count on Tom and Compass to find the good stuff.  If that happened to my beach here in Or. it wouldn't reveal any coins because people here just don't sit on the beach much, too cold.  Now 60+ miles north is a different story.  Thanks for the update. GaryC/Oregon Coast

OK, What are you Santa Cruz, CA. guys finding.  That storm surge is crazy good!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Gotta love those beautiful girls with their beautiful bling.  Looks like she has lots left to lose!  Nice job.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Just let it be for a few weeks.  It will come to you, eventually.  It has happened to me before.  Just don't sell the house yet!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

It has Quality and Age written all over it!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

No Doc, I believe it was from San Francisco.

Some of my best finds were from under houses, especially houses that were removed except for the foundation.  Lots of coins and marbles end up down the floor heater vents.  Really like your cigarette packet find.  Sold a log cabin beer can I found under a house in the 70's for $50.00 bucks.  Lots of money back then.  Now it's worth $1000.00.  Gotta love that old stuff.  Nice finds!!!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

It took me two years, mostly because I was in the WRONG club (not helpful people).  Once I found a dedicated bunch of people in the RIGHT club who had detectable claims to hit, then it only took six months of limited hunting time.  Still have stretches of skunks!!!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

You will probably never solve the "hit and run" posters problem.  I just like seeing the answers to the questions myself, when a knowledgeable person answers it correctly.  Ya, a Thank You would be nice.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Ya, I'd chuck that ancient scale too after that 666 showed up.  Looks like it has served its purpose and you could use an upgrade!  Nice finds!  GaryC/Oregon Coast 

The less educated individuals (like me) would like some descriptions on what I am seeing.  Looks ancient!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Arado!, and here I thought that was made up for the detectorists.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

I'm getting too old for this.  Can't remember what I owned.  Deleted my post.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Beat me to the punch by one minute!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

The ones in the photo look to be on the edge of screw tops and machine made corkers, 1920's thereabout.  From the age of your fields you just might find a good one.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

Don't get me started on BOTTLES.  They are as much fun finding as any artifact, especially privies.  I'd hit that dump in a second!!!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

I hope you are not married.  You are going to be away from home many, many, many, many, many hours.  Good Luck!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

I like backaches like this!!!!!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

If they bunk you up with someone, be sure to take some EAR PLUGS!  Made my trip bearable from the snoring at night.  Plus those Thermacell mosquito units worked pretty good for me, I went in the month of July, years ago.   GaryC/Oregon Coast

Those are in exceptionally nice condition.  Love to see them!!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

I did get to do Fort Powatan (Va.) for about two days, about 15 or so years ago, can't rightly remember the date now.  Got that out of my bucket of things to accomplish.  What a nice site before it was sold.  I am assuming the sale followed through.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

OK, That's about all I can take!!!  The truck is warming up now and I can get on the road immediately.  Just send the address and I'll see you soon.  Your new hunting buddy!!  GaryC/Oregon Coast

I did the same, with a found gold ring when getting married 48 years ago.  GaryC/Oregon Coast
