Excuse my proclavity for clarity treasurejack, but I think you found a nugget all right...a nugget of used aluminum foil. Probably was tossed out of the window of a Jet Blue 767 by a hungry passenger.

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Let me start by saying Hi all...
This is a true story, check it out on the net for more info.
I have been doing some research on a famous but not so famous car accident over the past 3 winter months. A man named George Walton was driving on rt 95 near Middlesex NC. On March 9, 1962, Walton was on his way to a coin show had an accident and died. Although authorities found thousands of dollars worth of coins at the scene of the wreck, the most valuable coin was not found. Family members found the coin in his home 45 years later, but most suspect that there was another coin with him. I located the site and drove on Saturday from here in Pa to The site, yes i got lost

here is the site

...I spent 6 hours at the site turning over logs, rocks I searched every square inch, and dug every signal. I found a small area about 20 yard off the paved road and found the spot I assume his collection must have landed during the accident. I first pulled an 1830 half dime. pretty nice I was stoked.


My very next signal was a sweet 1794 half cent.


I was hammering the area when i got a random pull tab, nickel, quarter signal flipped the clog and almost fainted Gold baby...1807 capped bust $5.00.....with a bonus 1858 half dollar in the same hole.




Still the prize eluded me, It was getting late and I was ready to pack it in, walking out i got a light broken signal,pull tab, ring, 5c, so I said what the heck, started digging saw the edge of a coin in the dirt when I rubbed the coin I saw the date 1913....and that big beautiful V on the back.....The happy dance just did not cut it since the last one sold for over $3 million. Hope you enjoyed..



gypsy the gold coin is yours.......for being such a sweetheart kisses TnT

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

TnT2000 that was quite a story. And looking for lost loot at an accident scene is a great idea, but it doesn't compare to my daring-do. Sorry. Must admit, that highway sign is a real laugher. Who are the dummies that come up with such confusing signage? Looks like a signpost in Los Angeles. LOL

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

when digging for my long lost penny cache I came across this, but I just covered it back up to allow some of you professionals to find it, after all I was penny hunting not gold hunting. Good luck and map is included spider is not included.

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Way back in the day I had a Pink Floyd album, The Dark Side of the Moon. This was way

before CD's even! You see, back then they had these vinyl recordings, mine was a

biggie- ran at 33 1/3 RPM.

Anyways, I listened to that album so much I think I plumb wore through it. Started

hearing BOTH sides playing at once! And brother, you haven't lived until you heard both

sides of the "Dark Side" at the same time...

I had to show my buddies, so I called them all up and they headed on over (after my

parents left for the weekend, wacky coincidence-) and we all sat and grooved to Floyd.

Well, at some point during the evening, I started hearing these hidden messages coming

through, kinda behind the lyrics of both sides. (They musta been hidden in the MIDDLE

of the record?) It seems they wanted me to go on a quest of some sort.

I quickly rushed my inebriated friends out the door and on their merry way, lest any

of them hear the same voices I was hearing and tread on my space.

So I went on my trip...

After flailing around for hours, I finally landed near this cave, so dark, so

mysterious... I had to go in! All was well in the universe until I heard this wicked

sound emenating from the other end... Kindof a CHUCKA CHUCKA CHUCKA sound. So I says to

myself- "Self?" (thats what I call me when I'm alone) "What IS that strange sound?"

After a few moments it dawned on me, TRAIN! I turned a quick 180 and flew as fast as my

feet would carry me. After I had cleared the entrance, I stuck my head back around the

tunnel wall to see where the train was, when WHACK! It sruck me full on in the head!

Kinda made my forehead look like an inverted moon shape, which I thought was strange,

'cause thats what got me here in the first place.

Oh yeah, my treasure. Never did find any. But you should hear my Grandma's old 78's!

Now THERE'S A STORY!!!!

I went to the McDonald's drive thru today for breakfast and found this in my change.



A 1933 Double Eagle. I still have to do some research to see what it is worth but I think I know why they call it the golden arches.

Thanks for looking. HH

I work at McDonalds and we put those in all the Happy Meals, except the 3yrs and under, you know choking law suits. That one looks defective though, you better send it to me so I can send you a new one. Don't forget to include 19.95 for shipping and handling.

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Before I was into metal detecting, I was an avid Indian settlement searcher. About ten years
ago I decided to hike into an area that I had done extensive
research on in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The site was about eight miles on
a dirt road , into what is called the "Hogs Back". This is a wilderness area that is
filled with huge timbers,rocky crags; the river switchbacks across deep ravines and valleys.
I was able to drive in and then had to walk another 3/4 mile to where I needed to be.
This area was right on the edge of a flowage ,divided by many beaver dams and then a man made
dirt dam. I set up my small camp on the dirt dam and made a fire,started to boil some water
for tea, then prepared my maps and notes for the next day.
The sun was just beginning to set across the flowage when I noticed that the woods had
become eerily silent. A small flock of ducks hurriedly splashed across the water and up onto my
side of the bank. I searched the far side of the water (about 150 yds away) when I saw it.
I will call what I saw "It" because to be honest I have absolutely no clue to as what it was.
Coming down the steep embankment was a huge ,hairy beast,standing upright and side stepping down the hill.
My very first reaction was that it was a joke....that one of my friends were being funny.
I started walking back across the dam to get a better look .Taking my binoculars out, I focused in
on this "It" . IT didn't seem to be aware of my presence at all, but made its way to the waters edge and
squatted down ,exactly like a man would do,then began scooping water to its mouth. It would drink,then look
back and forth, and drink again. By this time I was becoming a little leery.
I was raised in the Northwoods and had plenty of encounters with Black Bears...this was definitely not a bear nor anything that I had ever seen. I would say that it was at least 6 ft and I am saying that because I had seen
it stand next to some saplings on the bank and it was about as tall as they were. It was
a deep dirty reddish brown with matted hair.
The head was very large and its nose was elongated...not like any ape or bear that I have seen depicted.
I don't think it looked like a man,....more like a wolf face. Although I knew IT must see my fire,
I didn't think It had focused on me yet. I was just trying to figure out what it was. My brain kept
telling me it had to be a bear,but my eyes were telling me different.
I continued to the end of the dirt dam and got to the top of the bank...then like a maniac
I ran to my truck as fast as I could.I was basically having a heart attack and had left
all my supplies and gear back at the camp,including my camera.
I knew that I had a small disposable camera in my truck and I was hoping to be able to get
a couple of pics before IT moved.Once I reached the truck,I felt safer and tried to calm down.

Driving the truck back up to the edge of the dam,darkness was really setting in and I was ..
..hmmm...lets says 'scared', but being a Pandora , my curiosity was winning out over my
fear. I tried to peer over the embankment and see it, but I couldn't...and I wasn't going to climb down.

I had just started back up to my truck when I heard a low grunt noise and IT
stepped out of the brush. Instantly I
was able to snap one pic of It.Now I did run. Got into the truck and backed out.
I was heading down the road ,
when I spotted a Logging truck backing out of the woods. I flashed my lights,signaling it to
stop. I dont know what
the guy thought,but I went running
up to his truck and began telling him what I had seen.I wanted him to go back with me
as a witness. He basically laughed and said that his logging team had
been seeing this thing for the last several years and had reported it in the beginning,
but the DNR,police etc had laughed at them, so now they just didn't bother. He said it never bothered them, so they just left it alone. I told him that I was camping out there and that
I needed to stay the night.He thought I was nuts and warned me not to go back.
But, being the fool that I am , I was going to. He said that their crew would be
coming in with trucks about 5 am and he would have his guys check on me.

I spent a long,sleepless night in that truck .I could see my campfire from where I was parked
and throughout the night I imagined I could see shadows
going back and forth in front of it. I tried to catch something in my binoculars
but was unable to . Every noise jolted me and as morning broke across the flowage I finally began to relax.
Soon I heard the rumble of a logging truck and was happy to see a big logger pull up behind me.
Even happier to see as he walked toward my truck that he had a thermos of coffee and a rifle.
He told me that his boss had called him and told him what had happened. He said he never expected
to see me still there.As we walked back across the dam to gather my gear
I kept a nervous eye out along the banks....but nothing. My camp was exactly the way I had left
it except for one thing...my coffee pot that had been on the fire had been flung down the bank.
Nothing else was touched. As I climbed down the bank to retrieve it, I found one footprint that
I was able to photograph.
When I got back to civilization, I reported what had happened to the DNR, who basically said
That even tho I had the pictures, that I still had no proof. I asked about the other reports
that I knew the loggers had made....DNR said "No Comment" They said "the picture is so out of focus
that it must have really been a bear.
Since 1997 I have returned to this spot many times.Yet never have seen a glimpse of what I saw that night again.
I have seen the pictures that the DNR copied from mine
circulate the internet many many times over the years ,always attributed to someone else's sightings.

Do I believe it was a Bigfoot? I really don't know. But there are
so many people out there that do not believe in these types of Unknown creatures ,
I think I have convinced myself that it was anything else other... than an " IT"
I have shown these photos to and told this story to several authorities....
each time being told I am a liar or I hoaxed the photos....I guess thats why I decided this thread
seemed like a great place to put it and let you all decide for yourself!

Gypsy, this is the liars' thread, not the I-saw-a-bush-move-in-the-wind-and-thought-it-was-a-monster thread. Sheesh. Get a grip, girl.

If you wanna talk monsters, real fang-and-claw monsters, did I ever tell you the one about the bunny and the pancake? Now that was a monster.

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

I wasn't going to let anyone know this, but I would never forgive myself if something happened to one of you and I did not warn you. Early in deer season I shot a man killer deer. Yep you heard me, sure at first they look like normal deer all cute and bambi looking, then they sneak up on you and attack you. I had to melt all the silver rings I found detecting to make a silver bullet to bring this bad boy down.


**for real my dad had the ups guy believing there was meat eating deer.

 

[TreasureTales]

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Girl, I once convinced a female friend that there were flesh-eating cows. I was lying to her, of course, until....Mad Cow Disease changed my lie into truth. The theory is, if you don't already know, that cows that ingest flesh from some other animal (pig, goat, other cow) can develop the disease because their digestive systems were not developed to handle meat. It makes them go bonkers and inflames their brains or sumptin. Anyhow, be very careful about your killer deer story because it could become a FACT. boooohoooohoooohooooo!

 

[treasurejack]

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

Gypsy, that was a really great yarn, however;
The animal in the photograph, known by its scientific name, "Furbariousgigantis" isn't all that rare, nor is it related to the "common Bigfoot myth" associated with a similar breed known as, "Furbariousisgigantistoetoheel."
In fact, the creature in your photograph is still often referred to by it's Indian given name today, "Whampmwillcausethis." So now you rest easy my frail heart, because now you know the real scientific truth behind the both animals and the myth.

Gypsy, it's amazing how heightened one's senses become when camping alone up north, especially after the sun goes down. . . did you have time to do any fishing?

Re: New Contest...........TN's Best Liar!!!

OK guys, I cant enter this contest, but I thought I would tell you guys a lil story, a chapter in my life that may be inspiring to some of you, a few of you may even learn from my experience. The following is true

I was out detecting in the backwoods on a fine spring day when I stumbled on an decreped graveyard, very creepy & old. I thought about detecting it fer a while, wrestled with my conscience fer a bit then decided that I would. I hunted that graveyard fer hours...........picking up all kinds of old silver coins, a couple nice lockets & rings, realy had hit the motherload! By this time the greed had set in & I no longer had a conscience. I got a solid gold signal & started to dig & dig and before I knew it I was breaking through wood almost 6 feet deep!



I pulled up a very old human skull & started feeling a lil ghoulish til I saw the glint of gold!!!




I pulled the gold tooth & quickly covered the grave (after removing the poor decesed of his solid gold wedding ring). Gold fever had set in so I returned after dark & began my quest fer gold, digging every grave in that cemetary! Every one of my pockets was full of gold teeth & wedding rings, I was seeing big ol' dollar signs when I was struck on the back of the head with the butt of a shotgun.............through the blood running into my eyes I saw the three Jackson brothers!





Apparantly this was their family cemetary that held their kin fer many generations back...........and thet werent happy to say the least! They took all my gold & proceeded to beat & kick me til I was thought to be dead. I crawled to a main road on my belly & was picked up by a good samaritan, who took me to the hospital. Broken bones heeled but my head wasnt quite right, too many steel toed kicks I guess. In my "reduced" state of mind I still lust fer the gold but have found a legitimate way to get it...........









Im now the national sprinting champ & poster boy fer the Special Olympics!
