Made the Cover of W&E!!! Oh Yeah!!

Yeah baby! Made the cover of the W&E Find of the Year issue! ( 8:00, clock-wise, Union and Central Pacific Baggage Claim) Hopping around my house, doing a retarded chicken dance, all by my lonesome! More than made up for the last two weeks of driving around Denver, finding absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing worthy of posting. Hell, it made my year. It’s not a CSA buckle, or a gold coin, and certainly not a Washington Inaugural Button, but man, is I stoked! Not tooting my own horn here, (although I will be signing copies of the April issue at a Barnes and Noble near you), and I’m sure I’ll be annoying the living crap out of everyone I detect with, “stock market tumbled 700 points? Horrible! By the way, did ya happen to see the new W&E issue with my find of the year on the cover?” Actually I’m posting this to thank everyone that provided me with all the input on this baggage claim. If I hadn’t posted it here at this site, it would still be tucked away in my “cool finds area”, just gathering dust. You people at this site informed me of its scarcity, its value, and just by posting positive comments made my day. And when I decided to try and sell it, I was told at this site which auction houses were reputable. My cats now have food. I salute you all! Special thanks to PBK, who is a walking treasure trove of useful and valuable information, who sits staring at his computer day and night, just waiting to respond to our cries of help. That’s what this detecting forum is all about. Kudos!

A post worthy of being bumped back.

I have had a few things over the years probably good enough to submit, but I never think of it! That's it, this
year I am not going to simply just get a banner find, I'm going all the way to the magazine, and the cover! :thumbsup:

Maybe so, but I had no clue what I found, until I posted it here. (A buddy had some inkling, but I smelled alcohol on his breath) If I found what you found, I would have had to change my diapers. Oh yeah I would of.
