I have never kept keys that I have found unless it was something cool, like skeleton keys or a railroad keys. I have discarded well over a hundred in my time. I have kept but a fe. I'll bet I threw away a dozen common keys last month. If I'm hunting somebody's yard and find keys....whether they look old or recent, I give them to the property owner in case they go to something.

In the early 70's and 80's the silver coins would out number the junk I was finding. Thier was one Park me and couple fom Pittsburgh,PA.would hit about every other day( we would pull barber,seated coins and coppers just like a new clads we find today)It was like havin a good day( about 20 or 30 silver a day). You was on your knees MORE than standing up! THE GOOD OLE' DAYS!

Hey Mr Silver.......Who was the White's dealer in new brighton ca 1979-80. I used to go in that shop sometimes....Brockway or something like that I think.

I also remember them setting up a display at the Hookstown fair about the same time.

That was R.C.Brockett, thats where I traded my 2/DB series 2 for older 6/DB which I have now! I traded my 2/DB and $100.00 for my detector.
Perry, I find a lot of silver with 2/DB but I think it was only TR I wanted a upgrade!
