I love this hobby. As the savvy coin collector knows the rosies are not that valuable. Other than the double dyed the 49-s is the rarest. lol...lol
also included being held by my finger is a very old gold and copper ring probably wore by a lady. We just started to hunt this site and I suspect you will see some nice things emerge. I'll keep you posted. ;)
The Wheatie was folded in half like a sandwich.
and I don't know why but I love musketballs. aloha...............johny mc.
me and a hunting buddy have been hitting so many different sites- he finds buffalos like I find wheaties which is interesting because buffalos are tough........................

oh yea I wanted to share this email story I got from a customer...you all will like it:

John,
Tim copied me on the Wigwam socks, and I've been meaning to contact you, so now that your e-mail address is in front of me, I can do it easily. My brother was over visiting from Montana a few days the beginning of the month, and one day I took him out to show him how the detector works. He tried it a bit, and then he watched me use it. I showed him that I had a signal for a pull-tab, but that the guy who sold it to me (you) had told me to dig everything, because once you had found a gold ring when your detector told you it was a pop-tab. Then I dug and Voila! a 10K gold ring! My brother couldn't believe his eyes. Thanks for the good advice: it made digging for all those other pull-tabs worthwhile.

Excellent!? Last week I found a gold ring that bounced back and forth from a nickel to a pulltab.? ?Now I expect every target that acts like that to be a gold ring!? Usually it's a pull tab!? .....speaking of pull tabs! Monty
