    That was an awesome site, full of great finds, including that awesome marble! The highlight for me was the 18 Merc, that had to have been worked on the day it came out of a bank- clipped & holed, but otherwise perfect! Keep up the great work and Congrats on your 50th!

    Wow, what great finds & an awesome place to hunt!!!! You sure seem to know how to find great sites. Here in Missouri they weren't smart enough to have proper Platt maps for old homesites... So other than word of mouth, finding a long gone homesites here...is anyone's guess. Take care, be safe n keep on digg'n.

    “SUBSCRIBE”for the giveaway. Great episode. I started detecting in 1980 and was finding a lot of Chinese cash coins. After reading an article in Treasure Magazine in the mid 80’s I relished why I was finding so many. It said that a cereal company in the 1930’s bought a hoard of Chinese cash coins and put them in there corn flake cereal boxes. It also went on to say that the coins were from the 1700’s. That made perfect sense to me why myself and other people I knew were finding so many of them. Good luck and be safe.
