6 inches on a quarter is NOT good around here. With the 2 detectors I mentioned a quarter at 6 inches blew my ears off, and indian cents at 7 inches gave clear repeatable signals and id'd correctly.
The xterra 70 gets great depth in Utah, and has faster recovery than the explorer. It is also an easier machine to learn. The Fisher F75 gets excellent depth, but can be chattery as everybody knows. I am disabled so the lightness of the x70 and f75 were a must( now I can't swing at all, they are...
Clearing up a few points that may not be widely known...
When an antihistamine has "-D" after it (ie Zyrtec-D), it only means that a decongestant has been added, usually sudafed. Sudafed can only be bought behind the counter for the last several years because of it's use in making meth. It may...
I am no where near Michigan, but it looks cool. A few things that interest me though are what are you expecting to find? Did the dad have money? If so was it coins, bills, etc? Was he wealthy or is it assumed he amassed a small fortune to hide?
Worst case it is a nice place to detect, but...
Went down for half a day with 3 of my boys, and had a blast as usual. I wasn't feeling too hot(disabilities flaring up), and my 16 year old who spells me is in California at the moment, so the sledgehammer was feeling heavier than normal. A group of varsity scouts(14 and 15 year olds) and there...
Re: Here's a dime; call someone who cares about fraudulent coin passing
HMMMM
$15 theft accepted by bank tellers who can't tell a roll of pennies from dimes just by the weight.
$100's of dollars for man hours of police, bank employees being interviewed, going through surveillance tapes to...
The original coin was a 1974-D penny. Someone used a vise to put the impression of a penny reverse on the reverse, the words the are backwords prove this. They also smashed a nickel impression on the front, notice that Jefferson is looking the wrong way? Not a mint error and no value besides an...
That was mt first thought. When I opened the post I had my eyes closed in case there were pictures I didn't want to see. After my 6 year old said it was ok, then I opened my eyes and was greatly relieved...
I have bought a local collection of about 200 Carson City dollars, and I do like to lump a variety of dates together. I bought the collection over time, the seller and I made a deal on price, and every week I would spend what I had earned to get more. The coin dealers here are taking huge...
IP, for January and February I had $40,000 in sales and averaged $221 per auction. I don't offer free shipping on lower priced items, that is true, it wouldn't be worth it. If my shipping price DSR was the only number keeping me from a bigger discount, lower shipping, even it was already...
Old habits for sure, i sometimes fall back into that habit. Now that sellers can't leave negative's for buyers, it really doesn't matter, buyers can't hold people hostage by thrreatening or leaving negative in response to a negative toward the buyer.
The second reason is when you are busy with...
Here you go, why free shipping(and insurance in my case) helps me make more money. First I have to say you have to be a powerseller to get the benefits I do. Ebay currently has 4 ways of judging people called DSR's(detailed sales ratings) that a buyer leaves for a seller. Shipping price is one...
Have you weighed the coins to make sure the are genuine 1915 gold coins? It is very strange he would have 50 of the same date, and many gold plated copies have been minted over the years privately. Clearer pictures would help, do you have a "macro" or "ditigal zoom" option on your camera<
I average selling over $10,000 in coins monthly on ebay, with perfect feedback. I also get the feel for dealers like me and what to look for, and have made great purchases. Most of the coins I sell are bought from private collectors locally though, not on ebay.
I have also only charged shipping...
I knew you didn't mean any offense, I just jump at any chance to share my feelings for flag and country.
As for gas guzzling SUV, it is actually a Honda Civic hybrid. Great gas mileage(45+ actual) and rated a zero emissions car.
It was actually a coincidence that my wife packed shirts with...
I am hiding the fact that I believe in the flag, and what the flag meant to those who created this great country. I am proud of my country, and it is an emotional opportunity for me every time I have the honor of saluting the flag. The greatest experiment for freedom in world history are...
