Great work Slim,

    Very much the opposite of your forum name!! And that ring is one of the most beautiful i have seen come off the beach!!💍🤯  Were all the stones intact??

   I wish Fisher would get their s$$t together for the AQ production model, but in the meantime, you, JoeOBN, and a few others are at a nice advantage! But I'm not jealous;💩😂 You guys are out there doing all the hard work!!

Keep at it, as long as you can!!🍀👍👍

    As I read this, I'm watching Tony Beets put his moving trommel together! What's the odds on that!!🤣👍👍

Come on man!!,

How could you forget that!! That's an awesome find!!🤠👍👍

    Thanks Steve!! Awesome news! I'm definitely in for at least one!! I have an original Big Foot for my MXT Pro, but had to pay a premium (Not Ebay) for it! Maybe I can sell it, and get a "couple" of the new ones!! According to your list, I already have three of the detectors they will fit!! Can't wait to see the specs, and demos!!🥳👍👍

  Rocks are like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get!!😁👍👍

Whatever works to keep you in the hobby, and keep the mind and body sharp!👍👍

  No way man!!!😁, love to hear your stories/finds!!

    Something else i thought of too, was alot of people used to burn their trash! So could be a combination of several things on a single site! Not uncommon after many decades of habitation!👍👍

    If it was a fire, it either burned by accident! Or was probably a Tennant house, torn down with all the junk inside, and burned in a pile!! Saw several in Georgia go like that, over the years, after sitting vacant, and more field needed! Especially since the rolling irrigation systems took over there!!

   At least some interesting finds! And alot🥵 of work!!👍👍

   I think it is Steve!! What, no name credit??🥸

   He must have "forgot" the sand scoop, and swim trunks in Nevada; Reno specifically!!🤣👍👍

   Great job Compass!!

    Love those rare combination of conditions! Especially when you don't live close to the beaches to catch them!! Glad you spent the hours to take full advantage! Great Run, and hope it happens for you again!!

   I am very familiar with the ibuprofen routine, unfortunately! Especially now, as it's getting a "little" cooler, and i started hunting again! The damn "detector legs" got me last week!! But at least, I made some good finds!!🤣👍👍

    Harbor Freight has single and double barrel ones pretty cheap! Or Amazon!👍👍

Hey Paul,

     I just bought one recently too, and tried it on some coins this week! Same thing, mixed results! I cleaned my "good" coins first, separating the types, with a mix of distilled water, a few drops of liquid detergent, and some peroxide, for about ten minutes! Those were a "little" better! Then did clad, then pennies! Did not really do much for those! I think I will just use it on jewelry from now on! I've had better luck with other methods, just soaking!👍👍

  They didn't "lose" it! It's all buried in Mason jars, too deep for your detector! And not being hit by plowing!!🤣👍👍

Yeah, I hear ya,

   Just have the family replace all the gold in your pockets, with all those lead sinkers we beach hunters save! That way, you won't float back up, and scare some unsuspecting swimmer (or detectorest) at the beach!!🤣👍👍

    I just had to read up on "no-till" as I really had no clue! Where I go in Georgia, everything is still tilled! That's how we find arrowheads and pieces, usually every year! "Maybe" environmental sound, but sucks for detecting and sight hunting!!👍👍

    I try and laugh, and get laughs, while learning from you guys!! Make's it more enjoyable! Steve gives us enough room to be us; for the most part!! That's why I'm here most days!! Had school been like this, I'd have a PHD, instead of a GED!!👍👍

You know I'm just kidding, right?? Those were fine!! Thanks for posting that beauty!!👍👍

Aww Man,

I was hoping for a laugh out of you!! I'll try harder next time!!😔👍👍

tried to grade that half dime (great find, BTW) and had trouble tying it down, but somewhere in the high fine to mid very fine region.  

   GB,

   I was wondering where you were, for a lockdown on this coin! I had to beat Chris with a stick, to get a decent pic of the backside!! He used the old "I'm at work" excuse, just to aggravate me!! The nerve!!🤣😂👍👍

Awesome find in great condition!!👍👍

just love detecting and they will probably find me leaned over my machine when it's my time to go 🏳️

   Have you ever heard the song "Prop me up by the Jukebox! (When I die!) By Joe Diffie?? 

We will just alter it to suit you, when the day comes!!🤣👍👍

Oldcoinhunter,

   Did you visit the Meet and Greet section of the forum? If not, would you mind giving us some intro information so we can get to know you a little!😁👍👍

Sorry Chris, 

Us "older" and/or "retired" guys sometimes forget that most of you "younger" guys are still working!🤣

   Who knows, you may be older than me, and still working! Nothing wrong with that either! You know what I mean!!😁👍👍

So take another picture for God's sake!!🤣👍👍

   If people only knew what hides in the sand, they would never go barefoot!!😬👍👍
