The man never even replied so how do you know whether it was a detecting find or not? I've seen shinier coins posted claiming the same. I think you jumped the gun and were just assuming here. I've seen plenty of threads that aren't found with a detector. Not to mention the "what's it's" that get posted there. This is a treasure hunting site not just a metal detecting site. Where in the rules does it state that threads started in Today's Finds have to be strictly metal detector finds? I understand where your coming from and if it's a written rule then fine, if it isn't then maybe one should be written before you post stickies at the top of the "Today's Finds" page. Not to mention the man is dying.post Moved to Coins was not a Today's Finds post.
also does not say if found with a Detector .
Eyballs at a Coin Shop,
Or Ebay search
my Warning has been there over 2 Years
This is "TODAYS FINDS" not todays posts

Whatever. I still think you overreacted. I know this is a trivial matter and the Morgan may not have been a detector find seeing as how his main thing is bottle digging, but he has posted metal detecting finds before and I like to nit pick sometimes.again My Warning has been there over 2 Years !

it has nothing to do with the type of Find it has to do with Timing.
" Today's Finds " is for finds made the day you post them.
Not for your Old Finds !

You should know I Didn't "Jump the Gun"
Just following what I promised.
also If he found the Coin on Ebay or a coin Shop, it is not what Today's finds is for.
in some cases, Where something is found, & how, Does matter for today's finds.
and as moderators we reserve the right to decide.
I've stated my peace about the original post.Communication goes a long way. In my opinion, if the OP had put a more information in the post (e.g., found this coin metal detecting/bottle digging, couldn't post immediately because of...), then it might have remained in Today's Finds. One area in NY where I detect is "off-the-grid" so, when I find stuff there on a weekend, I can't post until the Sunday night when I return back to civilization. I mention this in my posts.
Treasurenet has been around a long time, and I believe it will remain here a long time, because of the tireless efforts of the moderators.

The mods do a thankless and unrewarding job. Their efforts are under appreciated and they do a good job of trying to keep everyone in check. However, Treasurenet is mainly successful because of the diversity of the site and it's members. You can't have a team without any players. It's not just a "metal detecting" site as many believe. Treasure and treasure hunting takes many forms. Though I do detect occasionally, I find many more "treasures" without a metal detector than I do with one, I can tell you that.
Well said!
