[size=11pt]A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.

that would have to be my 1781 half real that i found in a church yard. not real valuable or anything, but my oldest find yet. it really got my blood pumping when i first saw it!
Hey buscadero...
When I open my Lexmark 1200 series, it gives an option to "Send To""
such as Paint , Microsoft Word , etc.
So I "Preview" the picture,
"Scan"... then the pic goes to Paint Shop Pro 5 ,
From there I chose "File"
From the drop down box chose "Preferences"
From that box chose "File Associations"
When that box appears chose "JPEG" for the pic you want to use.
More than a thousand .BMP file sizes changes to about 100 .jpeg file sizes.
On other Paint programs I'm not sure how to change to .jpg .
As far as my best find(6 mths of my MD'n) is today, a flat silver ring squished by a
car tire. That was at a service station without using my MD. 8)
P.S. I haven't really spent much time MD'n.

Hey...Romeo MI
That's were I live now...not in 1998.
Did you live here then Buscadero?
Where did you dig it, if you don't mind me asking,
if you want to keep that to yourself, that's cool, I can understand that also.
Sounds like one heck of a find!! Congrats. Love to see a photo of it.
This is probably my favorite single find. This is actually a picture of a picture someone took for me a few years ago. Sorry it's not that clear. Found this Ty Cobb watch fob appropriately enough outside the fence of a baseball field in Bala Cynwyd, PA. It was four inches deep. The loop for the strap had broken off. That's probably how it was lost.
I won't go into the area of spiritual. And this is supposed to be about everything but metal detecting.
SOOOOOOO, I have 5 favorite finds.....one wife who puts up with me, a guy who wants to spend most of his waking Saturdays out in the hills with the
snakes and centipedes, and locals. And, 4 great kids, who have put up with me through thick and thin. They have all given me more love than I would
ever be able to return.......and sometime I hope that they get turned on to this site, and look into this thread, and again be told by me, how much each
of them means to me.
Can't find it if you're watching tv at home, your machine isn't on, and the head of your detector is pointed up!!
