Quartermaine New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/21/2006 11:39 pm I guess this would classify as having to much time on your hands during the winter months. I made these back in the early 1970's when I first started detecting from finds I made during the warm months. Sort of tacky now but I just can't seem to part with them. What else do you do with old keys & bullets. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/21/2006 11:52 pm Hi Quartermaine Pleasure to have you with us !! Those are really quite unique collections !! I dont find them tacky, but then Ive got cans,boxes ,jars and several small bowls with similar items in them . I get a thrill out of finding the skeleton keys !!! and a charge out of finding bullets and shell casings, I have found a few of the rim fire cartriges here in New Mexico, but I have yet to find one that is not damaged, it will happen one day and a goal will have been met !!! Thanks for sharing with us , I appreciate it !! Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 01/22/2006 12:00 am I think these are far from tacky and a very clever way to display your finds! You may start a "new" old trend with these pictures! Mike Report this Post to the Staff
Quartermaine New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/22/2006 12:14 am Okay, I guess I'll keep them. Its surprising to me how much I kept from years gone by, looking through some drawers tonight I came across more keys, bullets, coins from the 1700's - 1900's, Buffalo nickels which includes a few semi-keys but conditions not there & not sure if they'll sell on ebay. I guess I'm just a pack rat at heart. Report this Post to the Staff
Quartermaine New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/22/2006 12:29 am Heres a coin that I've never been able to identify. Found it on a early homestead in Rome, Wi. Its about the size of a nickel, looks to be copper, and very thin. Dated 1758? Report this Post to the Staff
