Explain your USERNAME and AVATAR on this thread...

[BuffaloBoy]

Hello folks, many of us have very creative usernames. I thought since I was not doing nothing right now, it would be nice to see why some people chose their usernames on here.

I'll start off.

Many people think that I am from Buffalo, NY. I am not from Buffalo, NY.

I chose this username because when I was a young boy, probrably 5 or 6, my grandfather gave me a few coins, and in them, some dateless buffalo nickels. I thought that the buffalo nickel was the most interesting coin, and I started collecting them.

Needless to say, buffalo nickels with no date are only worth face value, maybe add a penny or two.

The buffalo nickel still remains my favorite coin to collect, plus, who knows what goodies you can find in nickel boxes...

The Guy In Back

The icon is kind of our trademark. My wife has a custom embroidery business here along the west coast of Fl. We sail, like fish, and do the pirate thing on occasion, so, the pirate bonefish. It's embroidered on most of my shirt sleeves.

The Guy in Back-

It's a work thing. Has to do with aviation and airborne electronics and such.

[AC1955]

I know this is an old thread, but it is one that I find interesting and thought others may want to post to it.

AC1955 - my initials and year I was born. Kind of a wussy name, but my username on other forums is: ILoveToQuilt (none of the forums deal with treasures or MD - all are quilting related or craft related). Didn't think that one would go over too well on TNet.

I started a thread a couple weeks back on who are the women of metal detecting/treasure hunting. I am proud to be one of them!

As to avatar, still haven't figured out what I want to use.

HH,
Anita

Don't feel bad that's kind of the same with mine lol. Initials and birth year. Plus it's one of my usernames that I use for everything, rather than having all different ones and forgetting them.

Avatar is a 1888s morgan which I found at the bank for face value

ALSO, I plan on selling my CRH finds once I get enough to buy a nice NGC PF70 American Gold Buffalo 1 oz coin... this has been my goal since 2006 when the coin came out, but I figure, why put up direct cash when I could buy the coin with, let's say, 400 40%ers, or $200.

Yo, I'm a famous rapper perhaps you heard of me

 

[canaboy123]

My name is just a name i thought of no real thought went into it,but my avatar is the Federal Reserve System Seal.

 

[AdDicted2Ag]

I began hunting for coins by metal detecting.. While I have CRH for quite some time now, I still have a deep love for detecting.. I am from an old area of the country, and when I do detect I try to focus primarily on colonial sites.. Hence... I have Colonial Cravings.. My Avatar is a Barber Half that was given to me as a tip by an older woman, obviously with some artistic modifications.. Barbers are my favorite design, that is why I use it as my Avatar.

 

[gunner45]

My username is two parts. Gunner is the name of my Chocolate Lab and the "45" well that's my best friend that I never leave home with out. As for the Avatar, "KJV" Well, that's obviously the King James Version which by the way is the monarch of Books. I'm a born again Bible Believing Christian who our president warned you of. You know, those pennsylvanian's with their Bible's and guns.

[CubanHunter]

Well I put together my nationality and my hobby to make my user name: CubanHunter. About the avatar that is a silver Cuban peso. They were minted in Philadelphia and was pegged to the dollar . It was our currency until Castro decided in 1960 he liked more clad coins made in Kremnica, Czech Republic

 

[knarf44]

When I joined the forum I was lost for what to use for a user name until I remembered that when I spoke my first name while looking in a mirror it looked and sounded like “knarf”. And just to make it interesting I put the last two digits of the year I was born on the end. Now how sick is that?

My avatar is a handmade ear ring or possibly a nose ring that I dug while THing the beaches were a large early 1850s era lumber mill once existed.
