Wow George  , you have a museum !    I'd never be able to decide which one to use.......🖖

Whadda buncha goofballs we are !  It all sounds perfectly normal to me . 😏

Welcome to the crew JJ and yer wife too ! 

Ask any questions ya have been wounderin' about .

Nobody (from here) has asked yet  . So , now I have to.

Did ya find anything GOOD ? 😉

Greetings neighbah 🥸 from , well ya didn't say exactly so I cant decide if I say uptah or downtah camp ! I'm gonna guess uptah  ?   I'm across the river from that place where the angels of blue play from time tah time..

That Manti just found forum gold for ya !" Dig in" to the info you seek.

Ask any questions ya got cuz now you can , ooooie ! 

Just got my lifetime license last year and they graciously allowed me ta fish in the ocean free for a whole year but I have to go in and pay for it after that LOL  .

I grew up @ wolfe's neck so paying to fish the ocean is a new concept for me !  

Stripers rule .  But I like sharks betarrrrrrrrrr 🏴‍☠️ And everything else is just called bait ! !   

If they ain't bitin' crabs will do.😜

I drove to a beach without my detector.🙄

WTG ,👍 Nice score ! 

That's one a day !  🤔

🖖 

I thought it might be a small door knob too. 

I've seen that retention slot on the side on many of them.

Hope somebody IDs it positively .🥸 

I got a clad Kennedy half the other day. Not quite as exciting as that Franklin was though, no doubt ! 

The matchbox cars always remind me of the gas station I had as a kid... Maybe someone will dig up one of those some day ?🤗

Coins and jewelry ?

Of course .  Treasure side of the beach !  

Must maintain balance.

Arrrrrr , post 'em up !  Treasure can have a dark side too..

Target reality at it's finest ! 😯

I got a huge amount of trash last year too .

But when it was time to move them into the rig for a move , I headed to the dumpster instead 🙄    

I kept the lead. ( I met this old guy that said he could turn it into gold , just had a couple more things to figure out.)  I told him the scrap yard opens at 7:30 and gave him directions...

Nice looking  piece  of yellow !😎

Welcome to the D/P family  !

PI are a bit above my pay grade but the 2 gram nuggets sure got my attention !

You're probably more likely to get your answer by posting that question in the Advice and  Comparisons , MineLab  or Detector /Prospecting forums.

Possibly it has already been answered already.  I've been here for 3 years and I still haven't read half of what is posted . 

Welcome back ! Where have you been hiding ? 🤗

Yeah , tell us where you want to detect and what you hope to find and you'll get all the guidance for free. 

that $90 package Digalicious found is about as cheap as it gets and it still goes beep when you get the coil over anything metal.  Including the yellow kind.

🥸 Not a very big risk there , and you might find Tony's 5th detector where his wife laid it to rest ! (hope it wasn't his newest one) 😵

The detector really is just another tool. Researching to find the best places to use it doesn't cost much if anything online or investigating local history down at the local diner.

You might already know somebody that will give you permission .  

There's plenty to read here already to get you started and if you're near a beach , you can still get out and dig if your ground is seasonably solid like mine .

Steve's Guides is a treasure trove of clues .👍

Sounds lucky already ! Welcome aboard the good ship D/P !

Thx Doc . This isn't being funny , it's just the way I yam.

But if you want , I have an impressive amount of pirate jokes to share.

That was a very interesting button and sometimes condition forces us to think creatively.  HatdPack's  button eagle eye   Is amazing🤯 even if it was from looking at it magnified. Maybe he should get a commission on any digital microscope sold as a result ? 

Oh , and I lived through the 60s and all the way through the 80s in the music biz . I never heard of snowcones with mushroom topping ? Sounds hard core...

Do you think we need to attempt an intervention ? 🥸

DocBach 

That was really all there 🥸? I thought he was making a lot extra up for fun.🙄

HardPack's description was so detailed and I was having a hard time seeing much at all in the first photo. The blow up I could make out the guy with the gun much  better and it didn't look like he was on a couch anymore , more like a canoe .      I did go back and  looked again after I hit the laughing face like button  and did see  more  following the description.. I was missing so much of the detail I was reading .  (It sounded like a dreamscape . They sure did put a lot more work into buttons long ago.) Then next came the post with the history references  and  even more details !   

Well , I kept thinking about it and came back to the thread to look again 🧐 today.

It seems like Mr HardPack has spent many moons looking at decorative  buttons  and has developed skills far far beyond my own . Probably many in hopefully better condition ? 

 So far I've only found a few buttons , nothing even close to that level of fancy. 

Now I'll have to go back again and look for the Sea Hag and her Goons  !  Just in case. Ya can never be too careful with that bunch.. 😏  Next time I'll go with the  "Oh My" button  , I promise !    Sorry''bout that Chief ! Missed it by THAT much !

So much to learn here , Doubt I'll live that long but I never thought I'd be around at this age so maybe I will.,,,,,,,,and maybe all those people were right and I AM an alien ???😳

Bill Southern when he posts one.🖖And Two Toes vids usually end with some color everywhere those two goes.

Otherwise I  just look at whatever looks interesting.

Usually click out on most of those though !

I do like many of the Aussie's contributions , the scenery there looks like boondock heaven to me !  😎   

Interesting stuff ! I'll be following your efforts.🖖

Terrible situation , I guess now you'll just have to go get another one 👍

Woooo Hoooo ! Dig 'em up 🥸 Good show !

👍 Go Go Garrett !

It's only 1 to the owner or finder. "My precious!"

Without a finger and in a pile , I count 7 !😏

Was there a finger in the hole with them ?

Plus , for pirates  🏴‍☠️ they all got a share .  So 7 applies for dirt pirates too , arrrrrrr .

😎Congrats on your new record .

All units BOLO . We have a STREAKER !🖖

Busted !  

I thought the same thing Gerry ! 

It's OK VL . You're still young and have priorities .😏 

Nothin' wrong with that. But you DID miss the rock's tale.
