Hello all,
I am new to this forum as of this morning after lurking around here for awhile and just reading. I'm a 21 yo atmospherical sciences major in upstate New York (Binghamton) and have been fascinated with this site for months. Almost everyday I come to read what everyone has to say and check out some pictures of AWESOME STUFF!!!! So i finally broke down and ordered a GTI 2500, reconditioned so it was half the price (yessss). It should be here the week after x-mas, although with the deep freeze i don't think i will be doing alot of anything for awhile. If there is anyone from the area that would be interested in doing some searching and also help me get use to operating this machinery that would be amazing. My better half lives up in an old school house dating back to the 1800's that has never been hunted and has been owned by the same family since the early 1900's, and she said to hunt away so anyone willing to help out and have a good time has some cool hunting rites. Ok, next on my list, I see alot of people lately talking about roll searching, which i think is wonderful, i've been doing that for years ever since my grandfather helped me start a coin collection. And a short story for you.......I was working on the south side of town at a gas station awhile back where we recieved 3 rolls of dimes, 95% of them were silver. The subway across the street got 2 rolls of quartes which were 60% silver. SO $13 in silver dimes for me and $12 in quarters for eric, my buddy who is the manager at subway. I found this incredible, but due to the fact that i was hard up for cash i sold them at silver value to a local coin store ( i'm not sure where my head was but i know now i'm kicking myself for it). But the good news is after i quit working there the girl who i worked with called and told me that she had gotten six more rolls of "my" dimes and she saved them for me. I almost blew a gasket when she said that and ran down to the store, she handed me a cup pretty much filled to the brim with silver and a few clad. As i looked through i realzed they weren't roosevelt's by they were mercury heads. Well needless to say i saved them and keep them locked up in the safe with the rest of my rapidly growing collection. I will post a pic if anyone is interested when I get home from campus. But i think that this will be all for my first post, hopefully many more will follow. OOPS almost forgot, anyone with any quick pointer or tips would be great seeing i've never picked up a MD before and now have a nice one coming in. Thanks much everyone who actually read through this, and hope to hear from some of ya.
