It's not you, it's us! Basically it's there for everyone's protection! We try to always be friendly and helpful, no matter what "level" we/you are! But alot of spammers and scammers assault this great forum; and many other forums! So we are cautious to "vet" as best we can! We are protective of Steve's forum, as is he! But always open to new people to make it even better! I hope that explain's it well enough! And it does sometimes take time to get answers to questions! Try posting under the Fisher detector "heading"! Most times "detector specific" location's on the forum, have a greater reader coverage! Meet and Greet is not really a "subject related" question area, just a "get to know you" area! And of course, not everyone here is a "Greeter" type, or does it forever! I think it's a great way for us "newer" people to have a positive impact on the forum, meet new people, and also contribute something, for all the experiences and education we can gain here! 😁👍👍 PS: Sorry to hear about your detector friends passing!😔🙏 Not uncommon here either! Life's short! You do the best you can, until then!

Hope someone replies for ya! But at least have a good steak and some BBQ, while your there!🥩👍👍

Welcome FlyDog, F350 is correct!! Check Steve H's rules on selling items on the forum! His forum!! And an introduction (read examples, if your not sure)!👍👍

Hey Lechie, Welcome to the forum! Please introduce yourself in the Meet And Greet section, and give us some background!👍👍

I know the value, and it ain't in dollars and cents!! I would never sell it!👍👍

Update Chris, Its earlier, based on the Libertad "ray's"; 1839 or older! Maybe a 1/2 reale?👍👍

Also found these from Ebay, (bullet dies) but no longer there for more info!👍👍

Nice work!👍 I'm seeing possibly 1889 on your coin! Side lighting it may reveal more! I'll keep looking!👍👍

I wasn't sure on the granules, due to it being a unique two piece construction! Thought that they could have been something special glued in between for religous significance! The "screen" appears to be related to a confessional design! I haven't seen one quite like it! JMO👍👍

Unique piece Mn, Look's like it was two pieces soldered together! And what are the black looking crystalline structures behind the figure, sandwiched in the middle? Is that soil/sand?👍👍

Steve, Take a break man!! You've earned it! Enjoy the vacation!!! Wherever you are!! 🏖 🏕 🏜 🌄 🚢 🍻🥂 👍👍

But it looks Maaavvvelous!👍👍

Great catch! Nice grouping!👍👍

Agreed!! My elevator makes it to the top eventually, but I'm easily distrac.....Squirrel!!!!👍👍

No way Chuck! He was a Fireman for 30 years, so he knows the true meaning of being short a few grapes!🤣👍👍 (Outta grapes🍇🚫; I mean likes, again!)

And I've come to the conclusion, after many years of hunting, in an extensive camo collection, that the deer are laughing at me trying to blend in! At least the smart ones! 🤣👍👍

We don't have the concrete ground, but more like dirty carbon powder! Near zero conductivity without some mosture, if you know what I mean! But the beach soil is relatively consistant, albeit like walking on hot coals!🥵👍👍

Don't lean it against a tree or bush, you may never find it again! GPS tag optional! 🤣👍👍

I say we are on topic! Detecting the joke of the day!😁 And yes, with the heat, and current events, we all need a little more laughter to lighten the mood, and keep us detecting/prospecting, and forum strong! Steve will slap us in line, if he objects! He appreciates a good laugh, as much as anyone, I'm sure! Within parameters, of course! *Besides, I really enjoyed sending this to my 86 year old dad! Thanks!!👍👍

So true!!👍

I've had to pay sending in my various parts to the repair center; 3 coils and 2 pods on two different 800's! But they covered the return trips! I'm OK with that arrangement, as all returns from their end were new parts, under warranty of course! And the three coils came back with a new coil cover and bolt and washers included, that were not sent in! So basically no cost on my end! Nothing out of warranty yet, as I will sell or trade before ending! Not exactly on subject, but there you go!👍👍

Congrats on the gold! And the: +1515 with your 1515Art!🤣👍👍

Thanks for the clarification Jeff! Much appreciated!! I guess they can be seen as the equivalent of the Nox 600-800; In that they would not want them to be too close to the same! It would hurt their bottom line! Keep up the good work!👍👍

No disrespect Jeff, I love your experience, and willingness to share tons of great information! Thank You!👍👍 But I think the above is a bit of an overstatement, if it is referring to Kac's issue with "blanking" on a particular piece of metal! Or a few other people's "issues" with the machine! I did not see any bashing of either machine; unless I missed something! And I have no stake in either machine! I am miles behind you, and many others "knowledge wise" on the forum! But even with the detectors I own, I would not second guess someone else's experiences so quickly, without the exact machine and conditions to repeat for myself! And even then, I think that it could have been responded to a little differently! You yourself said directly above, that, among other things, you have a love/hate relationship with both machines! So why are someone else's experiences so easily discounted, or not taken for face value of a new user that may have found what could be an interesting anomaly, that you just may have been automatically dealing with on your own machine? This is not a challenge, or attack on you! But it is merely an observation I made, after reading, and rereading the whole exchange, over a few days, trying to soak up all the great information! If I misread the situation, I apologize ahead of time! But it makes it harder for someone at my level, to want to solicit advice, or post my issues with any detector here, for "fear" of judgement, instead of instruction, or help with solving the problem; perceived or not!👍👍

No problem!! You should visit the forum more often! Good luck out there!!👍👍
