First of all welcome to the forum Idaho. But I have to ask why didnt you post your pictures directly here? You can still make reference to your blog but the popups are very aggravating. I worked fast to save your pics before the popups took over on the third try. One pic is jpeg the other was png so I converted it to jpeg. Also copied and pasted your writing.

Metal Detecting Finds - Antique Pewter Cup

The other day my wife reminded me that I had an antique pewter cup that I found metal detecting 24 years ago that I have absolutely no idea of it's origin. She thought that I should post it on this blog to see if my readers might have any information. It is very doubtful that it is worth much, but I would mostly like to know how old it might be, who made it, where it was made, etc.

When I found the cup I was metal detecting in a shallow section of the Mississinewa river in Marion, Indiana after the corp of engineers had opened the nearby floodgates to the dam. It was about five feet from shore under about a foot of mud.

When the flood gates are opened there are several places along the river bank where you can walk on dry land halfway across. It is prime hunting ground for metal detecting and bottle collecting during this time. I have found many old coins detecting in these areas as well as tons of fishing sinkers which I melted down to make my own.

One more reason I run Firefox instead of explorer. No popups when I went to that site.

For some reason, there are no pop-ups anymore.
