My wife found it with her detector. She thought it was a slug and was going to toss it. We got that thought cleared from her head. She is on board now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_in_CA Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Chris, glad to hear that you've bought the book. It's guys like that who do a lot for our hobby, and deserve support. Whenever compendiums like that are made, it actually spurs the interest among buyers and sellers and hunters. And in this day and age of the internet, it's hard to make $ off going through all the effort of compiling such info into a book. Since, let's be honest, people will eventually get it digital somehow, which lowers book sales (one unfortunate aspect of the net, to any would-be-authors). So thanks for getting his book, he deserves it. Now go find some more so you can look up your future prizes ! And a shout out to anyone else @ finding G.R. buckles like this : Get Max' book too !
