rvpopeye Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 George You don't have a problem at all with so many detectors ?! When you add in just the finds you have posted..... What you have is a museum !? It's kinda like staying at a KOA (you just keep on adding )? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you add in just the finds you have posted..... What you have is a museum !? It's kinda like staying at a KOA (you just keep on adding )? In my detecting life some of my favorite finds were 2 civil war id tags, 4 gold coins, over 100 plates and buckles, too many Confederate and Union buttons to list, 1794 flowing hair half dime, gold rings by the dozens, mint 1877 Indian and on and on. Paid for my Wifes Nursing School, gave some to my close friends and family, traded some for detectors. Kinda hard to believe if you're new. But that's what happened back in the day hunting just about every weekend in multiple states. Never easy as you walked many unproductive fields to find the camp. Getting permission to detect was hit or miss. Great tip. Never send the Ugly Guy to the door to ask. I never found the elusive GW Inaugural Button. My digging partner has two. That's why I still detect colonial sites. Keep digging. A small sampler.  6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just added another Coinstrike, Patriot, Nautilus DMC, Fisher 1265, New Fors Cor Relic, XP W6 Master. Would you have me committed? Nice. Al least the men in white coats will be coming after you before they try to get me! I only have 17....I think......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvpopeye Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Collections are a sign of maturity and wealth. Or a sign of obsession and addiction. I look at it this way. None of all that , I have something I love and I don't want it to get lonely.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
