Hi, I love reading all the different posts and looking at everyones finds. My question is this: I sometimes read a post and someone will mention that the site was untouched and produced like they did back in the seventies. This has me very curious, what was metal detecting like back in the early days? was there alot of metal detecting in the late sixties? or did it really start in the seventies? also, what was it like? what find of silver and such did you find on an average day? was it easy to come home with a morgan silver dollar, or even barber or walking liberty halves? and finally, what about the civil war guys? what kind of relics were being found? I have only been MD since August of 2008 when I bought my Prizm IV (I love it!!!) thanks and I hope this post gets some interesting responses from some of the senior members on here.
