Re: Best Day Yet

Google is a wonderful tool. I just did a google image search for http://www.vikings.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/spill.jpg and it took me to the aland page. I was born and raised in TX and just thought this seemed a little fishy. Not that it couldn't happen, but highly doubtful in that area.

Look about 3/4ths down the page.

"Part of the Spillings treasure, on show at the Stockholm Historical Museum - thousands of coins and hundreds of arm, neck and finger rings were found on Gotland in three hoards totalling some 76 kilos of silver"

where did you find the link to the aland page? I don't see it on the main page or any of the links off the main page.

Seems to about drive the nail in it tho...

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

After a few weeks of frozen ground outside I was finally able to get out for 20 minutes today. Only found one keeper and I need help IDing. I hope PBK has a book with this one in it.

It read as a pulltab and I almost did not dig it but since it has been awhile since I was out last I decide what the heck. Proves that if you want to find gold you need to dig those pulltab signals.

Re: Need suggestions on where to start.

Thanks noodle the hard hat question was because as I said this place is really old and appears to be two winds from falling down around itself. BTW. Got new Info. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycattar/towns/franklin/browneagle.htm
Place used to be called The Brown Eagle hotel circa 1860. Town Historian says she'll dig for records but she seems to think it served as something of a cat house for awhile before prohibition shut it down. 8) yea baby

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Ok....We need a refresher course on Lying..... ::)

Rule number one: We know its a lie...hence the title of the contest...... :)

Rule number two: Dont tell us the facts...just the lie, folks.... just the lie....make up the facts...lie lie lie ...then swear its true...(makes for a better lie when you can back up your lie with ...more lies... ;)

PS....Whoever had the shipment of gold delivered to my house this morning....Thank You...But there wasnt a card with...so I dont know who's name to talley the bribe under..... :-*

Re: Need suggestions on where to start.

Ah, I read too quickly. You DID find a building. Don't know if I'd be brave enough to enter it or not. I did that once. Climbed into a falling-down old log cabin outbuilding to check out a surrey that was rotting away in there. Didn't accomplish much. The next year when I went back, it was all flat as a pancake. I'd stick to the outside of the building, if I were you. :D Good luck!

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Just to get some of you motivated....and I know there are some fabulous fibbers out there...I have decided to dig into my secret vaults and sweeten the pie with some new prizes.Because my wealth is so great and there are so many things to choose from....it was hard deciding what to select. I have it narrowed down to three .

First ....I offer you the Solid Silver Garden Trowel...I found this beauty about 500 years ago in The Garden of Eden and if you look close you will see that it has Eve's name engraved on it. This was a relative easy find,at about 4 inches directly under theTree of Life. And for those of you who are wondering ...Yes I had permission.....Actually I double checked in THE RULE BOOK (Matthew 7:7) and it was clear as day...Ask,And it shall be given, Seek and you shall find.....I took that as a definite YES

Second....A Silver Plated Gold Horseshoe ....one of four....worn by Llamrei ....gallant mare of King Arthur....This was a difficult find.....but worth the effort ....found the first one just outside the castle and the others ...well...Lets just say I had to dig deep...about 6 feet...

And last but definitely not least...I offer five silver Lincoln pennies.....These were minted in silver ,due to a shortage in copper.Many of you may have heard about this ....when the freezing snow storm in the 60's busted so many water pipes,causing a huge copper shortage and the government had to resort to using silver in place of copper.....Before these could be distributed tho...PVC pipe was invented....so the entire minted load of silver pennies was buried hastily under the Lincoln Memorial ......Lucky for me ....they didnt cover their holes well and I was able to find and dig these the same night....These pennies were minted with the purest of silver....so pure in fact that they literally drip it off when you pick them up...I have to keep them in a large vat
