Treasure Seeking Coin Collectors?It seems many of us Coin Collectors are searching for treasure. I have invested many hours searching rolls of coins looking for tougher dates to fill holes in my Whitman folders. I always hoped to find a 1909-S VDB or 1914-D Lincoln but never did. Numismatist and Author Robertson Shinnick searches for treasure with a metal detector. He has found some very interesting stuff! We are fortunate that Mr. Shinnick has documented some of his experiences and is willing to share them with us. Are you interested in learning more about relic hunting? Do you think it is easy to find a buried treasure? Would you like to see some splendid photos of Coastal Georgia? Then dig in and start reading! If you would like to read more stories by Mr. Shinnick then check out 1877 Cents (a numismatists dream!) and Poetic Justice (links at left). 1/3/2006 -- Playing Tooth Fairy 1/5/2006 -- Rural Relic Hunting & Return to Indian Head Alley 1/7/2006 -- Night Hunting With a Novice 1/10/2006 --The Curious Crusty Concretion 1/17/2006 -- Return to an Old Relic Hunting Hotspot 1/18/2006 -- First Silver of 2006 1/25/2006 -- The Teacher Gets Outdone by his Student |
