[] GOOFY GIRL COMMENT: I'm new, first post: I'm so happy I stumbled on this site!! I live in SW Missouri and am fairly new to old glass and bottle collecting but I am lucky enough to live in an old town with creeks (cricks) full of old bottles and treasures and recently I rescued my fathers 1970's Garrett Electronics "The Hunter" metal detector out of his closet after 20 years of retirement. I spent the day trying to figure out the dam***d whistles, dings, and cracks that my father seemed to know as a second language when I was a kid. I dug the dirt floor out of the shed thinking the machine was indicating "treasure" when in fact, it was indicating high iron content in the rocky soil..MAYBE?? Anyway, my treasure report: 5 pieces of aluminum foil, 2 rocks, a sore back, 3 blisters, 5 nails, a door hinge and a renewed love of BOTTLES! []
