My Treasure, Three Years Worth.

Ant · Feb 15, 2007

It took 3 years of hard labor to find this stuff. It means alot to me, not greed, as I make a good living and this is just a hobby that I like. I work 4-10's and my children are grown, so I have free time on the weekends. Well, as long as the wife doesn't have anything requirements.

All found on dry land.

But did you find any keepers?

Great work Ant. How much junque do you have that is not actual treasure that you just can't part with? I have two boxes, junque and keepers and my junque box just keeps growing. Actually I had 3 boxes, one for real junk, pull tabs, etc, but I finally dumped it. Keep up the good work. Monty

Beautiful stash ant, can I come over and dig in it?

I think all of us with a md hobby know it's not greed that is the motivator, it's finding cool things and pieces of history. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

By romeo-1. Nice finds...except for the dental cap...ewwwwww!

They buy dental gold as scrap too. If it was gold I’d keep a phallic gold item too. Thanks.

By Nashoba. Is DAYUM acceptable here? ?? ~Nash~

What does that acronym stand for? Spell it out like a man.

I had so much that my wife said that I needed a hazardous waist area to store it. So I throw it all away now but I keep all junk rings.

I have a full time job but I’m off on Fri., Sat. and Sun. When I’m working a hot site I spend anywhere from 3 to 6 hours a day. That’s to say on a site that is hot and changing quickly I will hunt a 3 hour session in the morning and one 3 hour session in the afternoon. On a full three day weekend I can put in a total a total of 15 hours. No different than any other hobby such as fishing, hunting, softball or the likes.
