Metal Detector fans: The Spring weather has finally arrived, signaling the start of a new season of treasure hunting for metal detector users. Aside from the usual bunch of modern coins, we found a 1920 Illinois Chauffeur's badge and a 1920 Mercury dime nearby, both buried about 2-1/2 inches in an old baseball field. What was your first interesting find of the season? -- ============================================================================ Bob Parnass, AJ9S - AT&T Bell Laboratories - att!ihuxz!parnass (708)979-5414

Recent finds? Leather wallet with 6, $50 silver certificates and a mint 1903 silver dollar. Also contained two tin photographs and an illegible telegram. Found 3" deep outside an old mine camp site. .38 revolver, found under 6" of mud in a canal which was drained for cleaning and repair. Rotted, rusted, gave to police since it was fairly new and who knows what it might have been used for. John
