✅ SOLVED what is it....a mission to id

[bigfoot1]

ya I know...prolly should post this in general but I want opinions from the,"what is it"research community and not necessarily others.As you research veterans know I have been hucking in my 2 cents with regularity whether I am an expert in the field or not.Is this appropriate?My view and reasons are that perhaps a novice researcher like myself could see an object with,"fresh"perspective and perhaps open a new direction for original poster to research.
I would hate to think other novices like me would be afraid to get in the mix.Sure I'm wrong alot,but I also have been right as my skills develop.My observations are these;
A)when the herd tacks right,I often go left...to open new possibilities.
B)I try to remember to post my opinions as just that...opinions...guesses.
C)I try to find images to support my views.
D)If I truly have nothing to add...I dont...instead learn from the veterans

I would like to hear if this is historically an accepted approach?What can a novice like myself do to be more helpful?I am particularly thick skinned....let er rip.But know others like myself would surely like to pitch in also,and this thread is also for them.

We,the B team are in awe of the varied knoweledge base here and appreciate any guidance from the A team.

thx...pat

I wanna add one more thing then I will shut up.....as with anything if we dont involve new people...especially young people what we are and who we are will soon die,many great scholars have been on this site and for unknown reasons to me,have left.This saddens me,but with every new "resident",its like a birth.None of us quit growing and learning

I agree new members are needed.

It's always good to get as many opinions on an item as possible when trying to id something. Some things take a long time to figure out, and new ideas are usually what cracks the case (egg counter) It helps that we have a pretty diverse group here with many different backgrounds to apply thier knowledge to any item that comes along, and I learn something new here now and then. I always laugh when my friends ask me why I know so many odd things about so many different subjects, and at least a part of that knowledge comes from T-net.

I agree with Ken completely. New ideas often crack the case. Opinions and wild guesses are not only welcome but they are a necessity.

However if you make a good guess, you will be expected to provide your reference, pictures, photos or a link.

And if you are wrong, expect someone will tell you so.

I just wanted to kick my two cents in here. This is by far my favorite forum on Treasurenet. I look forward to my morning coffee break when I can log in and see what people have posted. Most of the time, I don't have a clue, especially when it comes to buttons, coins, bullets or anything military related...but once in a great while, I see something that I recognize and that's when I contribute..the rest of the time, I enjoy reading the posts and seeing the photos and learning what these items are. I am consistently amazed by the amount of knowledge that is shared on this site. Thanks to those who post AND to those who respond. Keep up the good work!
