  1. 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!

    Born in the valley, raised in Coos County, OSU grad (go Beavers!), married and moved to Ohio.   Still have a bunch of Madras thunder eggs and Rabbit Basin sun stones as well as some Holly blue.  So, I still have a bit of Oregon with me.😁

    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😆

    Nice! The only 1909S I ever found was at an old school on the southern Oregon coast.  It wasn’t in very good condition either…

    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.

    You can't magic marker a VDB on that baby? 😄 What a nice coin! Any S mint mark on early wheats is a great find. Now you need the S Indians.

    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.

    Zincoln, Congratulations on your success that hunted site.    I knew you would be one to put in the time and effort to learn the Deus, and it looks like it is a good fit or your time and patience level.  Keep up the efforts, and I hope the weather starts improving for you.

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    Good going Zincoln 👍

    That sterling collar you dug is from a tobacco pipe, probably an English one whose name escapes me at the moment. Great run you're on!

    Could be a Peterson, Dunhill, many makers used silver as an accent piece and and possibly a heat sink.

    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.

    But OF COURSE !   What else do we expect out here on our west coast OTHER than the better S mint coins.  Tsk tsk.  After all, we're closer to SF than to Philly  😍

    We may not have had the population centers and the magnitude of history.....but at least we got this little gift!  You certainly have done just fine over the years on both those SF coins and our earliest settlement drops!

  10. Not trying to abscond with your post Bootscrape. Tell me to start my own if you'd prefer.

    Here are the spigots (some polished, some not - really like the ornate one with the valve still there) which may be water, fuel and/or gas, a brass minie ball enfield mold, and a nice Hubley cast car found at a house in the the high Oregon desert (very dry and sandy).  Car is a about 8" long for reference.

  11. Yes GB, I've been fortunate to find a number of 1910s, 12s and 13s pennies in rather nice condition (all be it fully green), just missing 11s and 15s in the series starting with 09s.  They do hold up rather well.

    Wish i found as many silver barber coins to match.  Afraid they are harder to come by.

    I find a few Phili mint coins here from that early part of the 1900's. But I have never found a New Orleans mint and on very few D mint coins before 1935.  Seems nearly all of Oregon's supply was simply coming north on the train from the the SF mint for the later part of the 1800's up through the mid 1930s.  

    I notice that when people find 14D wheats, they are commonly found in midwestern states - which is logical.
