Hideous Monster on Front Page!!!!

ModernMiner · Jun 24, 2009

Some more PR for our hobby folks. My ugly mug graced the front page of the local paper today. :tongue3:

http://www.carynews.com/front/story/12777.html

I had two calls & three e-mails when I got home. Three were for properties to detect, and two were for lost jewelry.
One house is a nice 1910 house that I will detect as soon as the weather cools down.
Thanks for looking.
I'll get my rump out soon to detect again. This heat is killing me!

Bryce,
I can't find old coins like you, so I'll have to settle for newspapers.

Thanks Big Guy.

Thanks Big K.
With my mug shot on the front I'm sure circulation went through the roof for The Cary News. :icon_thumleft:

Actually folks will probably use the pages in their pet cages to catch droppings on. :tongue3:

Hopefully I helped our hobby somewhat with this story. I got a few leads already from it. No Colonial Babes yet though.
