These 5 brings the total to 18. The cases are taken to elementary schools for show & tell, senior centers for presentations, and various events throughout the year. Next winter I'll be presenting my Top 10 list of the 145 (and counting) artifacts donated over the past 6 years. Remember, every artifact has a story to tell, if we're willing to listen.

That is so cool! Great recoveries, great research, and outstanding presentation! You do the hobby a great service! (I mean, who wouldn't see those and be inspired to start swinging a coil?).

Invent4hir, you are correct sir. Every artifact has a story all its own. You did a great deed in donating the display cases to your Historical Society. These will be enjoyed and viewed by many for future generations to come. Folks such as yourself help to keep our History alive and well. Well Done Sir!

Thanks devldog, that it does. Often times it is figuring out what the artifact is, the story behind it and how to make it interesting to the public. Kudos to all the folks on TNet who have helped by coming up with multiple IDs.

It's amazing the number and types of objects that are lost and in the ground. Thanks to all those who share their recovered items history with others such as the members of Treasure Net do! A special thanks to one of our members inventforhir for going the extra mile!

scruggs, thanks for the great compliment! I know for me, once an artifact like that E.C. Saylor token is found, it motivates me even more to dig up the story and share.

Invent4hir, you put me to shame, I'm just starting out doing the same thing, connecting peronal stories/people to the things I find on permissions. Banner thread, great job and I'm glad to see detectors like you saving history in this way.
