New Girl from Savannah

[dirtygirl]

Hello, all. I have enjoyed the photos on this site for a couple of years now. Forgive me for lurking and in advance for any newbie breaches of forum etiquette. I have gathered quite a few "treasures" over my years, but very little official knowledge as far as identification for a lot of them. I get really bogged down in the research process. I am hoping that I can garner the attention of someone kind and patient enough to take a look at a few of my things that I know are something cool but I'm not sure exactly what they are or I would like to know more about. I live in a historically rich location and literally pick up buttons and bullets in my yard. (that's not meant to sound bragadocious) It would be especially great to meet a contact in Savannah. I am also having a hard time finding someone locally to identify, certify, and/or clean shipwreck coins....and all of my artifacts for that matter.
Glad to finally vent my frustrations to like-minded folks...it ain't exactly what the other moms in carpool like to discuss. Thanks.

Jenny
(henceforth, Dirty Girl)

I have found members like one thing better than a good hunt......that's identifying the results of someone else's good hunts. Welcome to the hobby and forum. You have probably discovered each type relic and/or coin has at least one very knowledgeable person in Tnet. Good luck in your endeavors.

Welcome from WV. I lived in Savannah, Ga for five years, just wished I had been into metal detecting when I lived there. I have been back to Tybee Island a couple times on vacation with my detector, but didn't find anything good. I was with first ranger battalion at Hunter AAF. RLTW

WOW, you're sure in a great area to find good stuff. If I can give a newbie just one piece of advice it would be to read, read, read. T-Net goes back a long ways and there is a wealth in information in the old posts. There are some really smart people here. They can identify those bullets and buttons in a heartbeat. Did you know that there are people who pan and sluice for gold in GA? And they find a bunch. Check out historic map works and sanborn maps. Spend some quality time with Google. Talk to old timers.

I spent the afternoon reading a thread about Spanish Jesuits in the SW USA and northern Mexico. I'll never get there but it was a fascinating read.

I can certainly understand about the moms in the carpool. I get the same reaction from friends and family when I start talking about this stuff. Most people don't have a clue about the history of their area.
