Awesome and CONGRATULATIONS!!! I sell stuff on EBAY also. I'm not trying to tell you what to do but, some of those tags could be VERY RARE, and command a premium price. I hope you did your research.(I think you did). Hope to read about this story in an upcoming issue of W&E Treasures Magazine. I think it would make for a great story. Good Luck HOGGE :notworthy:

WTG on those RR tags. :icon_thumleft:

That actually looks like a RR tag cemetery from your picture :laughing9:

I'm not sure about the machine you are looking to purchase, but I am sure others here will give you good advise. Best thing is you have already paid for your upgrade with this find. I'd be back there in a heartbeat looking for more

I think the Saratoga one is very rare.it may be the rock island and southern pacific rail road,
Saratoga was a small town just east of Pratt ks.i got to md there and found a few coins.
it is just a crop field now.the town was only there for a short time and then vanished.
if i am rite you have a very rare item.

Why do you think so many railroad tags were buried in that spot?

minelab safari.any thoughts?

I haven't heard enough yet to know how the Safari runs, all I know is that I have been using my SE Pro for a year now and it is quite a machine. I have been running it with other guys using the DFX and Fishers F-75 and it really is a consistent machine. The F-75 seems to be a good machine suited more for trashy areas. I don't want to start a debate here, just really happy with my SE. Congrats on your pile of tags, I enjoyed reading the original post and glad to hear they are paying off.

Say, did you get a banner for those? You should have! Hope you have some nice pictures. How many did you wind up with? Monty

BANNER!

WOW! That sure is a nice find. I would keep that site under tight lock and key. Would also comb over EVERY square inch of land and dig EVERY signal. You might have yourself a real goldmine there. More importantly, there could be other goodies with a substantial amount of historical value. Hitting the jackpot like that doesn't happen very often, so, enjoy the moment. BIG congrats to you.
