Here's a FREE offer you can't, or shouldn't, refuse

[Silver Fox]

Basic to all treasure hunters, whether using a metal detector or not, is that we are collectors, of sorts. I've never found anything that could be auctioned off by an auction house such as Sotheby's or Christie's, etc. Some of you may have found such items. There is an auction house in Dallas, Texas, that is quite famous and you've probably heard of them: HERITAGE AUCTION GALLERIES, INC. If you go to their website you could be impressed with their scope. I've tried submitting some of my items to them but they've always been rejected as not up to their $1,000 minimum standard.

But I still benefit from them in the form of their free magazine and that's the reason for this post. They offer a free subscription to their magazine by just going to their website: www.heritagemagazine.com and filling out their online form.

Their magazine is full of photos of fantasy items but some of them could be found by you in your metal detecting or eye scanning. I've seen photos on these forums of finds of fabulous Civil War swords and other armaments under houses, coin caches, etc., and because these are non-dug items they're still in great collectable condition.

In the latest issue which I just received a couple of days ago they show a full-page photo of a 26-pound gold nugget in the shape of a boot (called "Boot of Cortez") which was found in the Sonora Desert of Mexico by a local man using a metal detector he'd bought at Radio Shack! HERITAGE sold the nugget this past January for $1,553,500!

There is a lot of visual stuff in each issue and each issue is a keeper for reference of just to look at every once in a while and drool. So go to their website and sign up.

If any of you are already receiving this glossy, heavy magazine, pipe in.

Can you call a 26Lbs find a nugget? More like a boulder.

Hello!
I just joined, thank you!

My wife and I lived in East Texas at one time and were really into antiquities. On more than one occasion we were tempted to make the drive to Dallas to visit Heritage's Auctions.

Thank you for the information!
