  1. Wow, an elusive 20c piece. Those show up almost never. Congrats on some fine looking history!
  2. A clean troy ounce of gold in two nuggets....I'd say it was a good day. Maybe all that digging out slowed you down and helped on finding the gold!
  3. Thx for posting this @chiil, and thank you @geotech for the response you shared. Todd at Centerville got me a factory Sharp display in perfect working order. Got my display today and replaced in under 30 minutes. No more backlight defects on the display! I did have to rework the foam backing spacers, but it was easy enough to transfer them to the new display with double sticky tape. Here's to another 10 years or more! Zincoln
  4. That key date 1886V is in fantastic condition. That definitely made the trip worthwhile. Not something you often see!
  5. That is a monster. Odds of finding anything Spanish in the Northwest is small, so my hat is off to you! Bet that rings in at the top of the scale!
  6. Welcome aboard fellow Oregonian. I share your passions...and wish i were closer to the old gold country of Jackson county and surrounding! Like Doc....the steelhead bug still bites me!
  7. Hey, a fellow Beaver and a coastie! I never used to get much further south than Tenmile myself. Funny, I've spent a lot of time roaming around Lakeview, Rabbit basin/Plush and FrenchGlen. Not a whole lot out there but fresh air and open space! Ticks and Rattlesnakes seem to thin out the herd😆
  8. I see you are in Ohio Geologyhound. You make the move back east at some point? Not much draw on the Southern Oregon coast if you aren't from around the area, other than Hwy 101, the Rouge River and some pretty good looking countryside! Born and raised on the central Oregon coast myself.
  9. Thx HardNox. I know we are fortunate on the left coast to have more desirable S mints. I have pulled one 08s IHC in very nice shape...still waiting on the 09s. Posted it on the coin cleaning thread.
  10. I've started to conclude that SF must have sent the shipment of 1.8M 1909s wheat pennies to Oregon:-) No doubt many of the early SF coins were shipped to Oregon, Washington, Idaho and NV. Only have found one 1909 without a mint mark. Added the 3rd 1909s wheat to my collection, and the second in the last month. Been unlucky in that many of my 10s or 13s coins have really been quite clean, but the 09s coins have all suffered a bit in our soil. It's no beauty, but still fun to pull a key date.
  11. Thank you Monte. Was a pretty easy learning curve as the menu's/options are basically a dumbed down V3i. Eking out all of the performance took a little time. Zincoln
  12. That half is exceptional. Beauty! Good for you...had to be a rush! That is on the my short list of denominations left to find....and I can only hope to happen upon one some day. Got teased with an 1892 Barber half once....almost not fair.
  13. You can't beat that with a stick. I think that is right up on there on most detectorists lists of white whales. Have probably found 50 pockets watches that retained significant portions, and yet to find a silver one, much less gold! Very well done indeed, and fun to see if one could find the provenance. Pretty cool this was gifted by employees of TT Co.
  14. Sounds like a fun place....with plenty of potential still there. Glad you got back out to make some saves!
  15. Thank you for the ID, F350. Much appreciated. I had also thought mirror or comb, but pipe didn't ring a bell. Makes perfect sense now.
