My Brother and his wife are near Winter Haven Florida in a mobile home park. Family was trying to fly them out but that didn't materialize due to half ask dilly dallying , now he's stuck there but so are most of his neighbors. They are preparing best they can. They have good neighbors which seem...

I haven't worn gloves at my job, though I should as I get pretty dirty and my hands look like calloused bear paws kind of and are rough as sandpaper. Of course, if you got a girl you better wear gloves or you'll be relegated to the no fly zone.

Time to cash in some silver??

You can hide some treasure then write a book with clues so people will go crazy looking for it and some will lose their lives, Oh, Forest Finn already done that. Start your own house cleaning out service or storage locker wars, then sell the stuff at a store, flea market and online? Collect all...

When it's too hot you can always go coin roll hunting with a fan on, thrift store browsing for treasure or just do some research on new detecting spots, historic aerial sites, google earth, plan your next trips?

I could get plenty of pressure treated deck boards and 2x6's at my job. Some well used and some lightly used, some you can flip them over and they look new again. My coworker did that this Spring, hauled away a bunch. I like 2x4's and plywood for projects at home.

This is not religion, this is prayer for our fellow Americans who are suffering loss and devastation. The saying goes, there are no atheists in fox holes. Prayer can be thoughts of good intentions and thoughts of better things to come. Or it may be actual petitions to the Almighty God to spare...

Pray the storm goes away. When some of "Us" are suffering, all of us are suffering. Loss of life, loss of treasured possessions, loss of of basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing. Wiped out and starting from square one has got to be totally traumatic. I pray this storm dissolves and...

You've got to know your mushrooms before you even attempt to eat them. Sign up for classes, read every book and guide, let your instructor eat them first then watch him/her for 48 hours, if they live then you can eat them. Many Asians come here and see a wild mushroom that looks like an edible...

Fall does seem to be coming a few weeks earlier than before. But I welcome it, the cooler weather and less biting bugs. Just sitting on my back step day or night I get eaten alive by skeeters, they leave welts like hives and itch too. Yeah, frozen ground is a couple months away but in Jersey we...

I have a couple of old books signed by Ernest Thompson Seton, one of the founders of the American Boy Scouts. No one wants to pay anything for them, yeah one guy offered me $50 bucks but I think their worth more even if not first editions. Book dealers scoff at paying anything good yet will sell...

First time my girlfriend was so excited for two minutes of totality, any other time two minutes brings a frown.

The coil is already waterproof, but I wouldn't submerge it more that the first rod length. the control box is not and they used to say not to lift coil up above control box after submerging as water will travel down rods to the box. Get a real waterproof machine for what you have in mind. My...

I found a bunch (like a hundred) of bullet heads like that buried in the dry sand, kids were using them in slingshots to shoot stuff on the boardwalk at night, sure hope there were no people walking on the boards then. told boardwalk cops and they dug the rest up themselves.

Yeah it looks like common quartz which i find a lot but I have never found a diamond that wasn't connected to a piece of jewelry though. 60 million years ago? A dinosaur stepped on it?

If China is making fake bullion and fake coins isn't that an act of war? They are deceiving/undercutting the precious metals market and also making fake US coins will cause people to wonder if the real old coins are genuine and people will lose faith in both markets. Yet, we are on friendly...

I scratched an X on it before i decided to saw it in half to forgo anyone mistaking it for real

trying to post pics

Oh, I don't think I posted about this before. Last year at a yard sale someone was selling fake gold one ounce bullion, along with a bunch of other stuff they had. There were Australian, Canadian and Swiss Credit Suisse bars. I think they were actually covered with a thin layer of gold. She was...
