DOTD 2010-03-29 recon draft
DIGS O' THE DAY (2010-03-29): IVANHOE PLANTATION & OWENS FERRY RECON Today's outing was a reconnaissance mission, so don't expect to see much in the way of detector finds. I typically do more driving than detecting on my recon missions. I thought I'd bring y'all along for the ride on this one, though, just for fun. I might… -

Re: I miss Lebron James.
I grew up in Akron. Lived there until I was 35 and moved to colorado in 2011. So, I enjoyed those Cleveland years as well. He is first and foremost blessed genetically like possibly no one before him, to be that height with his frame and so athletic. But you can't question the guy's work ethic. I don't think anyone puts… -
Re: Freebies
<< <i>I have been in shops where the owners are exactly like the comic store guy from the Simpsons. That show does not exaggerate even a little bit. One time I was in the store and someone come in to ask how much his cards were worth. He had a small pile of 1989-1992 cards and they were garbage but instead of telling the… -
Re: What is the one item you found that <50 people have seen?
<< <i> << <i>strangely enough, all of my other family members missed it while they were busy poaching fine goods that my g'parents brought home from their many trips to other countries. >> Kinda OT, but ain't that the truth? The unequitable division of property (pilfering) of deceased family members makes me sick. My… -
Re: Article about Ryan Howard's 200th HR ball
<< <i>I totally disagree with giving the ball back to the girl. 1st off the girl doesnt even care about the ball the parents saw $. The girl wouldn't even think about the ball again in a day from catching it. That home run was a historic one. The ball means a lot to Howard. He acheived a mile stone in his career. I also… -
Re: Cars..1950's???
I have the same card. Assuming it is the same issue, the back of your card tells you almost all you need to know about this set: "Premier trading cards are made for use in vending machines manufactured exclusively by the Oak Manufacturing Company, Inc., Culver City, California". According to Sport Americana, there are 5… -
Re: POLL: Is coppercoins' 1895 photo that of a genuine proof Morgan?
POLL: Is coppercoins' 1895 a genuine proof Morgan? I answered "no" just like anyone else should. Coppercoins doesn't have an 1895 Morgan. You people tend to forget that this was a job I did. I took the photo, just like I do for hundreds of other coins per year that aren't mine. I've handled patterns, gold, foreign, natinal… -
Re: Truly amazing detector find- grading/pricing opinions solicited (update: for sale on B/S/T now)
<< <i>ANACs would probably call it au details and net it at vf-30 for planchet roughness. EAC guys would say ef40 details vf-20 for porisity on both sides. >> Tbig, thanks. I would tend to concur with either of those opinions. I was hoping for a grade of "AU details, net EF40" (admittedly, a bit of a long shot), but… -
Re: Why do you collect/invest in coins and precious metals
A hobby since 1955 when at the age of 5 I got to go through my Grandmothers change purse and keep anything unusual. Too bad for her I found everything unusual and it went into my secret box. After the first few times she started taking more coins out than leaving them in so i had less to scarf up. That lead her to buying…
