Hi Lisa, awesome find. That is a tongue and the adjuster, for a 2 piece buckle. Keep looking, there is a wreath piece, that your buckle fits into. I will post some info from the book, on your exact buckle, when I get the chance.

Hey Ghostminer, don't take offense to the lack of likes buddy. This ain't facebook, don't think we hit the button much here. BUT...you got us all transfixed,  like a group of school kids, waiting for the next page. This would make a great movie!

Dude!!!! Holy crap, what a story. I have not been on here in a looking time. I decide to check out the forum this morning before work...let's just say I didn't make it to work. Read through everything! Awesome! And yes, would love to work alongside them, kick some ass with John, haha. Thanks for posting these!

Good finds buddy

Fantastic finds, and yeah, that looks like the guts of a Chinese lock

If I remember, I will post the info on it, out of the book. Keep looking ,your in a good area

Nice finds. That's a center disc to a 2 piece miners buckle...1850-55 or so. Not Navy. 

Channel lock

Thanks...guess he just has me on ignore, since I have left 6 or 7 messages in last month.

It goes directly to voice-mail, after 1 ring. Hopefully he is just busy filling his poke. I'm not in a super big rush, I mostly relic hunt anyways.

I tried messaging off his site, and have placed numerous calls to both the 800 number,and the local number. Left messages. Figured he was out detecting at first,then feared something bad happened. 

Hey guys, been awhile. Any news on Doc? I bought a goldscreamer from him in January...it's not working, and tried to get hold of him for a month. Not airing dirty laundry, seriously wondering if he is OK, and if so, anyone know how to get hold of him, besides the 2 numbers listed? Thanks, Ray

nice! trimes are cute little suckers! Nice key too!!

Don't fret too much if you can't find it, as that is a pretty common strike error, if it is indeed an error.  Based upon the found condition of the coin it doesn't really change the collectable value.  But a wheat is a wheat, and casually throwing it in coin star does seem like sacrilege to a coin collector, despite their minimal collectable value as they are dated items nearly 100 years old.

don't think to many collectors want crusty green pennys. I check the date, bout it. Rather keep room for relics and older coins...if you detect long enough, you end up with thousands of wheats.

Nice man! Love finding crotals.

The 1929 wheat in the first picture looks like it has a double rim on the left side and top of Lincoln!   👁👁👍

Holy crap! You made me look, and it sure does! Honestly, hope I dont sound like an elitists dick...but I dont like finding wheatys. Usually throw them in the change jar bound for coinstar. Now I gotta go find where I put that! Thanks for pointing it out, guess I will look carefully for now on!

Great finds Ray!   Glad to see you back in the saddle.  I can’t tell by the photo, but is that a real nugget or has it been melted into one?   Hope you success continues. 
Brian. 

Hey Brian, long time no see. Yeah, its a real one, haha.

GB...15-s..kinda scarce I guess. 

Kac...yeah, was hunting area with a Chinese Camp. Weve found probably over a 100 at this site. All history, tells the story.

Thanks Steve! I knew you'd have the answer. 

Right on man!

Hi folks...been working my butt off last few years. Purposely trying to slow down for awhile, get in some detecting, fishing, and work on my own house for a change.  Went with some buddies, back to a camp weve hit for years. Place had activity from 48 to depression. Deus with 9" hf coil is the ticket. The nug was nice ...was just discussing how we where surprised one hadnt turned up yet. The 3 cent nickel is a first for me, and rare Ca find. Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh my...too many ax heads to count! Picks..few dozen whole, numerous tips. Love picks!

Whats the deal with ' hi-q'? What is that? Any different from regular tdi sl?
