    Swastika good luck silver

    Yesterday I dug this nice old "Good Luck" silver which appears to be a scarf slide as it has a slot on the back about an inch long and a quarter inch high. Also two mercs and some old thin copper phone book printing plates with the old 'word and 4 numbers' phone numbers.

    videoing your finds or digging

    I am wanting to video some of the diggin I do, so if any of you do that, how about letting me in on what camera, where it is mounted, etc. I was looking at a GoPro Hero Black with the remote so I could mount it either on the CTX handle and use the remote to see what the camera was seeing, or on...

    "coil not detected" message
