    How many class ring have you ever found ?? What is the oldest ?

    Only two. First one was 10k from 1931. Second one was one of the modern junk metals. It had been lost for two years. I recognized the name in the ring as being the daughter of a man I had worked with for 14 year. She had gotten a replacement and had not told her Dad. Mom confessed when I...

    $40k Ring return (not me)

    I am always leery of folks who. Claim a piece of jewelry. Locally a guy posted on Facebook that he had found a man’s wedding band. If you can identify it I will return it to you. None of the 15 people who responded. Could identify the ring. One lady demanded that he mail her the ring because...

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    For years i took advantage of a program that allowed military retired to buy hearing aids at actual cost. Military audiologists participated and all you had to pay was actual cost. I paid a little over six hundred for a sis thousand pair of hearing aids. Yes they mark them up and they charge...

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    I know a gentleman who worked his way thru college working in a jewelry store. He said that they marked up everything three times. If they paid 500 they sold it for 1500. Jewelry has a high mark up. but no where near as much as hering aids.

    should you let your metal detector touch the ground or not while detecting?

    Banging a rock with a coil can get to be expensive. Dont ask me how i know that.

    New to the sovereign

    I purchased my first detector six months before they quit making it. When i first got my GT i thought i had wasted a lot of money. I could not tell heads or tails of what it was telling me. Bad Hearing was one of the problems. there were times that i became very frustrated with the machine...

    I swear they were not there in December….

    I worked a park a few years back and found one silver quarter. The old national guard armory that was no longer in use gave up a bunch of wheat pennies along with a quantity of clad. A year later i went back and started working the propery again. The park gave up four silver dimes and the...

    I am old and she was not attractive. In fact she may have been even older than me.

    Brief rant

    At the beach it is not uncommon for some one wanting to talk. they are usually satisfied after a couple of minutes. Some are more persistent. it depends on how small their bikini is as to how long we talk. I might be old but i still enjoy a nice view. I have had very few people approach me...

    Anyone else practice archery?

    I miss bow hunting. But age caught up with me. My shoulders will no longer tolerate pulling a bow. I hunted with a compound but shot a custom made recurve just for fun. Even after flinging tens of thousands of arrows at a target with that recurve i never felt competent to deer hunt with it...

    planning a trip to Tybee Island, Savannah, GA

    Hot sand will blister your dogs feet if you are out there during the heat of the day. Beaches in my area do not allow dogs on the beach when it is that hot and dogs must be on a leash..

    Well decided to send in Excalibur old blue

    I have what the seller called a balanced straight shaft. He and i talked about my height and what would length upper shaft would work best for me. The shaft puts the pods under my elbow and i find that to be ideal for me.

    Turning in coins, Round 2

    I take my cleaned coins to my credit union and run them thru the coin counter. It will reject the worst ones and i feed them back thru. I do clean them as best as possible and rarely have any that will not get counted.
