That´s all early 20th century stuff...

BART..... WHERE IS THE PIRATE STUFF ?!

We wanna see Gold, Emeralds and Castanets!

Bart, leave that place alone. The stuff is not done yet and still needs minimum 500 years!

Ceramic/porcelain tube from an old tube and knob electrical system.....1880s-1930s. Bare wires back then.

Nice finds, Bart! That's a great haul!

GB, let us know if you're okay. I forgot which part of Texas you lived in, and I heard there was a shooting.

I went to Morehead Kentucky today, and had a great time! I found a three piece mold Ale bottle that I believe is Civil War period, a local beer bottle, and a Harpers Weekly print showcasing pickets in General Bunsides Army, and a Confederate flag. (pics later.) I think one of the best parts, was the ULTRA HOT girl checking my purchases out. I mean daaaang... Even Tom would like her!

But then she ruined it by calling her boyfriend over, and the dude was about 7 feet tall. Geez, I can't compete with that.

I have one left from an old house I lived in.
I'd heard of them being used to touch up knife edges after sharpening.
Did not want to wear the sides though.
Did use it in my minnow bucket to anchor the air tube by passing it through it though...

I had a MXT at one time. If you're in a bunch of trash, I would run my disc up to just a bit past 80. You'll miss some pennies but if you are after bullets which some run in the upper 80's and the large silvers you should be OK. And then again, the down side of moving the disc. up is that some three ringers and other CW bullets will ring up in the high 60's. It's the give and take of treasure hunting. You have a time tested machine. I wish I had not given mine to a family member.
Also keep that gain control to just where you can barely hear it. You probably already knew that but!!!!!

When I said gain I miss spoke. That should be the threshold. Sorry bout that.

I am very, tech stupid. It took me two years to learn how to use a computer at the age of 14, and almost just as long how to use a Tracfone.

I still remember when I was getting interviewed for a relic show, and instead of a Whites, MXT, I said I had a Whites TDR. My dad was frantically whispering, MXT! MXT! LOL!

Here is the Harpers Weekly sketch. The description says it is a sketch of Cavalry pickets in Burnsides Army. This is a partial scan.
