Invaluable:

[Captain]

Invaluable: having incalculable monetary, intellectual, or spiritual worth. Defined per Goggle.

Even though I don't know any of you guys personally, I like to say thanks for a wealth of Info and the ability to share my experiences. TQ and You are Invaluable in my Opinion.

Even though I only been aboard a few short month and not yet sponsored the site or event. I do Plan to do something to Give Back to all you for giving me your time and knowledge. WVaTom held a fun Contest with the 1900 Morgan Dollar, That I like to do the same. Something Simple yet rewarding; like you guys. When I lived in Alabama this country store had this lil cardboard punch, with tiny holes you would stick (what looked like a Spam key ) thru the tiny holes for 25¢. It would punch out a piece of paper telling what you might have won. Maybe with the Owner permission maybe he and I and you guys can brain storm something up. Except your picks will be free. One pick per person kinda thing. Feedback welcome.

Often, no one shares the excitement about diggin in the dirt and dirty dug up stuff than the folks here. Again thank you for sharing your time and allowing me to Share my Thought and Finds with you.

Hey Captain, Your Welcome ! That would be really Cool of You to do. This is a Great Site and the Folks here are the Best around IMHO. I surf alot of sites and can't believe alot of the Bad Additudes. Everyone here is freindly and Respectful of eachother, Don't Matter If Ya found a $10,000.00 Rolex or A Wheat Penny, Everyone is happy for Ya and try's To Support Ya in any way they can. We're not perfect here, We have our ocassional bump in the road but it's dealt with and we move on and try to continually make it better, A site where Ya can come and Learn about this Great hobby, Share one's Knowledge, Have some laughs and be there to help another if someone is going thru Rough Waters. In the Rules & regulations it says this is a Family Site and thats just what it Is. Anyone could let their Family members come thru here and not worry about what they may Read on the Threads & Post and the Membes here are Like Family to me. I have Not met 1 Member yet in person but feel like I know some as tho I have and have known eachother for a long time. It's Great to have Ya here especially when Ya can appreciate a Place like this and want to Give back as You say. What a compliment to everyone that is. I could go on & on about my feelins about TQ but I don't have that many years left in me. Your idea sounds Great and I would like to " Thank You " for it and for saying what You have.
Glad To Have Ya Aboard Captain !

I Salute You
Th TINMN

I second everything that TinMan has said in his response to you.
The people are great, the best I have come across and I think of some as really close friends, although I may never meet any of them, except (Shawn, EPC Guy is coming over in the fall so hopefully I will have a chance to meet him)
I am sure everyone will agree it is a great idea

Well we're glad to have you here too Captain! Honestly, I think we all participate in other forums, and while all of them are great, TQ is a special one that we can call home. It's really a "family" here. I'm just repeating what Tinman said, but really, who can say it better? But I think we're all glad to have you home with us!!

Captain, as was said before, glad you are here on this site. It is a family site for sure and we are all the family. It makes it much better when you can share things you like with that family. I would also like to meet up with some of the other people on here as well. That I will do for sure. Will come up north to visit soon enough.Have a few in mind that I would like to meet up with for sure....Happy Hunting..Buster...
