Sure, we'd all like to see it, it's just a bit of a turn-off when someone flaunts it whenever possible. It was a great find, worthy of admiration and my hat's off to you, however, a little humility can go a long way. IMO.

I am real busy on the 50,000 treasure sites for all thread. I'm working to create the largest free ghost town and hunting sight/research thread in forum history. As of today it has about 160 replies and 2,300+ views. Check it out if you would like, I might put you on a site where you could make an interesting find or two. For a research thread it is doing very well. Once in a while a (cut and paste) section of Treasure Found makes it's way over here in tnet. Enjoy them when you see them. :)

Those are interesting stories Pete, but kinda old. I have 2 boxes packed full of old newsclippings with finds like these that I saved since I was a kid. I could post a few if I knew how. :-[ I have so many. All true stories.

I have Mr. Terry's files also given to me. They make interesting reading, not all the stuff made the books.

Pieces and more pieces. All useful to those who want to find some interesting spots to hunt. Saves much research time for those nice folks known as treasure hunters.

Pete's article, "Urban Renewal: The Golden Opportunity," was in Silver & Gold 2005, pp. 34, 41, and I'm sure Marc wouldn't have any problem getting it from People's Publishing Co., since they sponsor TreasureNet; however, it is copyrighted material, and therefore they now own the "bartering rights."
W&E magazine had no problem with the article being on here. Look at the date posted on the forum and the date published in the magazine. This forum got the coin posted a couple of months before the magazine came out.

I private messaged Marc, I'll recreate a special edition of the coin find if he wishes. There are facts that are not in the W&E version. If he really wants it, i can do it in installments.

Hey Pete, I bet you don't have this one. I got lucky. Here is an example story.You won't find this stuff on the Net. I have boxes full of these newsclippings. Marc's treasurenet members are welcome to it.

I tracked this one down to one or two possible caches it could be from.

I feel for the security guards. They usually earn the least but stayed at their station. I hope the other bank employees brought them back a coin or two.

This post did pretty well back in the old days.

How would you answer this question today?

What turns you off as far as postings go on here.

What NO NOs or BOO BOOs would you say turn you against any poster?

You could also tell what it is you like to see posted on here.

Go for it!

I dunno, those white's guys sure get under my skin - all, like "Hey look at me I'm the guy who has a metal detector with three extra letters in the name !!", I mean seriously, it's like they think that they're all better than everyone else, especially those jerks diggin' all my silver at that "iceberg" place........MAN, the nerve !!!

GO TESORO !!!!!!!!
