    Smokin - Token.....

    I dug this cigar token the other night after work. It's from the Polk-Gray Drug Co on the Square in Statesville, NC (The town where I work) I haven't gotten a date on the token yet, but the store was built 1885 and it's still standing. It's a sporting goods store now. I also found a slot...

    You Don't See These Every Day....

    The Kidney stones were kicking :surrender: but the C$ was kicking harder! I got permission at an old school (Now a house) with a foot print of 1874. I was hoping for an old coin or two, but all I got was another gold pulltab! (10K) It could use a little more cleaning. It's a 25 year service...

    OK....Gold Coin ID on C$ and Excel......

    The 1847 $5 gold minted in Charlotte, NC (Home of the Carolina Panthers who pounded the Patriots earlier today:poke: ) shows an ID of "18" on the Excel and "19" on the Coinstrike. I would expect a $1 or $2 1/2 would come in lower and a $10 or $20 would be considerably higher. Hopefully one of...

    Whoever Called It Labor Day Called It RIGHT!

    This was my project for Labor Day weekend. I told the girls I would build them a playhouse. My Dad came to visit for the weekend, so I put him to work too. We had hoped to get in a little detecting, and we did. I had to fire up the Coin$trike long enough to find the hardware from one of the...

    Bomb out last night! :ranting:

    I met up with Allen after work and we fired up his boat and headed for the sandbar on the lake. The water was to high to hunt the sandbar, so we ended up hitting a small beach at a campground. The place is loaded with nails :rage: We were soaked before we ever got out of the boat. That rain...

    Bad week for headphones! :rage:

    The cord on my Timberwolf Howlers got cut so I went to some Fisher headphones that came with my Excel. I got out for a short hunt yesterday and when I pulled out the Fisher set, the left side just came apart in my hands. I put the "Field repair" on them and still managed to find a 1923 buffalo...

    A day to remember......

    I won't bore you with the details now. You'll read about this place in Western & Eastern later on.;) I "burned a day" from work yesterday to hit a new permission I just got. It was a day WELL SPENT! I managed about 30 Wheat cents, 6 Indians, a silver Roosevelt, 2 Mercury dimes, a War Nickel...

    Saturday's Keeper

    Got out for a bit with Allen and Mike and we hit an old homesite in the Historic District in the town I work in. I got this 1917 Standing Liberty in the parking strip between the sidewalk and the street. This one made my day.:thumbup: We moved across the street to an 1887 home where Allen has...

    Info On Silversmith

    I found a pair of silver serving tongs at a plantation in VA. They are marked "J Watson Phila" I found a link a few months ago that mentioned him and he was in business as late as 1820. I can no longer find the link. Does anyone have any information on Mr. Watson? The plantation dates back...

I went back to finish it up this morning and they were having a YARD SALE!:veryangry: Plan "B" didn't work out either, so I went to plan "C" - Park Pirate:blush: Well, Plan "C"...

    One year ago today....BEST FIND!

    It's hard to believe That one year ago today, we got custody of our youngest daughter in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. It was a difficult process, but worth every bit of the effort and money it took to pull it off. The first picture was taken in Zhytomyr the second was taken a short time ago. What a...
