Doug, your post, your displays, attitude, public acceptance is all great, you done good!

I second this! Excellent displays, Doug. Hope my relic collection will look that professional someday.

Keep up the good PR for us MD'rs!

Fantastic displays AND pictures! You're a smart cookie! When folks find out what it's all about, then they don't seem to mind if we dig a few holes here and there.

Super post, MM! 8)

Thanks everybody for the great comments. You guys & gals are the best. I love this hobby.
My brother told me I'm always detecting now and never have time for fishing. It's addicting for sure.
Thanks all,
MM

Thanks GA.
I have a lot more, but I can't believe they were all found in just a two year period. Ya gotta love it.
Maybe some day I'll figure out how to take a video like you do. I love those.

Very Cool Post Buddy! It is always gratifying to get to show others the relics and coins that you have saved from the ground! Good job Doug!

It's folks like you that give our hobby a good name and promote it. Thank you!

Thanks Bryce.
I'm sure I'd come up a bit short as mayor, plus I haven't found a good pocketwatch yet.

Doug,
Very funny that we are doing the same thing! They are having a book signing at our local library promoting the book "Images of Westlake" Ohio. They did it a little differently. They built a fancy new library (supposedly ranked in the top 5 of the nation) and they are signing the book in front of a display case. Guess who's metal detecting finds are in the display case? Yep, Nate and mine. I've got some pictures but it's been so busy here I haven't made it a priority to post..... Maybe after prom, graduation, track season, etc...

Bob,
Very cool. Your book cover looks the same too. Can't wait to see your pictures. Just blow off work one day and get them posted please. Your TN family is way more important than work you know.
I actually found you in that group of running kids too.
Hope all is well,
MM
