Found this picture on another website...... but it reminded me of a 5' 1.2" Rattler that I ran up own 4 years ago while metal detecting at Mount Elba, on the Saline River in south Arkansas. This thing could do some serious hurt on you! It's 9' 1" long..... so the caption read. Kim

Well, it is my first grandchild..... a grandaughter! Attached is a picture of my oldest son, Will, and his new daughter born yesterday afternoon! WoooooooooHoooooooo! Naw, I ain't proud! He'll get to be with her and Momma for for a couple of months before he has to return to Iraq for his 3rd...

Hey folks, Thought this may be the appropriate forum for this...... Treasure! We all have our treasures in life.... we discuss many of them here. But during this season, let us not forget the Greatest Treasure of all. I want to wish each and every one of you the Merriest of a Christmas, and...

Folks, as posted on another forum..... Bill (Selma Hunter) lost his mother last night after a long illness. He is in my thoughts and prayers, as I'm sure he'll be in your as you read this. God Bless you, Bill Kim

I've been asked by another forum member to let the folks that are able log in...... that there are still several that have no access to our Forums here. I spoke with one highly frustrated member this morning by phone, and received an email a bit ago from another. They want folks to know that...

Folks, There are a lot of folks that are unable to access the site at this time. I have been asked to post this message on a few of the Forums here in order to get the word out.... see copy of an email I received a bit ago: I have Tom H on the phone - he, JimT, Doc Beach, Mosby, me, etc. and a...

Folks, I'm trying to get this posted on several of the forums here. There are several of our Forum Buddies that are unable to get logged into the Site. Some can get in and can read some of the posts, but are unable to respond to the posts...... They get "Critical Error" messages and such...

..... anything out of Selma Hunter (Bill) over the last several days? I think he was on some kind of research trip.... but, I have seen nothing of him in posts for some time now. Thanks, Kim

I found this some time back. And you know how it goes..... stick it in a "suspense" box until you can find out what if anything it is. It looks like some kind of a buckle, but the slits where the belt or strap would go through are too narrow. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks and take care, Kim

It's been a decent Spring Break for me...... away from the classroom, and into the woods with my metal detector. There's nothing like being out and relic hunting, instead of teaching Algebra to 9th and 10th graders. In the top photo there are a couple of .69 (?) cal. lead canister rounds...

I just wanted to thank everyone that posted over the weekend.... your photos and your comments... the ID's, and all. We had over 5 inches of rain here over the weekend. It started Friday night and went through Monday evening. Sheeeeesh ! Did we get rain?! We didn't have any severe stuff...

Hey folks, I often leave the mud or soil in the cavities and rings of bullets. I found this oddity a few weeks ago, and just happened to pick it up last night and look at it again. Something caught my eye and I took a toothpick and began clearing the dirt from the cavity. You can see the...

Dave got me to thinking again (A dangerous thing)! Why do we find so much melted lead. I have thought about the soldier sitting around the campfire..... maybe unloading or pulling a bullet from his weapon and casting it into the fire...... removing torn or wet cartridges, etc. I've seen a lot...

Can anyone tell me where the Relic Show is going to be in Memphis this weekend? I'm going to make an effort to go this weekend, but I thought I might find out where it is going to be. I didn't want to get to Memphis and just drive around til I found it! :wink: I am a male that WILL ask...

The last couple of weekends have been pretty decent on a hunted out site. I'm just sticking my coil into area that others may not have. The saw Brier scratches on my arms attest to this. Included in the assortment are a bayonet scabbard tip, A piece of grape, a .69 lead canister ball, a couple...
