About the Today's Finds! forum...
When my wife's dad passed, she and I were tasked to go through his rather unique collection of antiques, stuff that he's been acquiring since the 1960's.
My wife and didn't pay for it, we didn't dig for it, we didn't trade for it, we didn't dive for it. I completely respect the people who do that. (I have metal detector of my own but my injuries don't let me use it anymore. I can't hold it to use it and I certainly cannot bend to dig.) The stuff we have is in storage, and we just rummage through it everything every so often, cleaning, sorting, and organizing. We pull some stuff out to try to identify it. Some stuff we try and sell, and the money goes to mom. Some stuff, if it has a family name, we try to locate the family. We'll either outright give it or sell it at a significant lower price.
Would it be ok for me to post some items that we find that I thought were really neat in the Today's Finds! forum, to share? Is that the wrong place?
Maybe My Best Finds! would be better?
I absolutely and certainly do NOT want to brag. That's totally not me, but I do know that there are people who who, I think, would appreciate this stuff and I'd like to give the opportunity for others to see it. Her dad would have loved this forum.
As I said (or I think I did...) in my very first post, I've been reading treasurenet.com for a long time. I'd like to give back.

I actually already have, but not in the way I described in my original post in this thread.
