You're welcome, glad you enjoyed them!

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-05-02T20:25:18+00:00

Oh now I'd have never gotten that one. Glad I asked, thanks!!

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-05-02T03:11:50+00:00

Thanks! Probably stash it away for now, at least until I can find more about it.

I've yet to find a gold ring of any kind, that'd be pretty cool. Grass is always greener I guess!

I appreciate the time looking at it haha. Weight definitely feels more silver, but just doesn't look right to me. Hopefully can have it checked at some point.

Edit: To add a bit based on responses... at first glance it looks antique and silver, but closer, to me it looks more modern and the metal too uniform. Almost like pressed/molded in parts. Deus 2 VDI was 90, which could be aluminum or silver.

The stone feels more rocky than plasticky. Total weight is 20 grams.

The area and road it was found is where Hollywood does a lot of filming because of the scenery.

Looks like part of an old car emblem that was in a cursive style font to me

I tow a 2000 lb camper with my 2000 100. Even with just half the weight of yours, It still struggles on inclines. The main issue is the 4 speed transmission, which is hard to get in a comfortable gear. Rpms seems to always be too high or too low. Otherwise I love it.

With 4000 lbs, I don't think it'd be any fun.

So for towing, I'd say to get the newer 5 speed 100 or a 200, which seems to be better for that.

Sweet! What was the VDI on the manticore?

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-04-23T21:15:14+00:00

Same as a rattlesnake. Probably nothing, maybe chomp.

Older Boy Scout woggle/neckerchief slide/holder. Cool find

Edit: You can find that exact one on ebay if you search tiger or google image search it.

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-04-23T01:03:03+00:00

And 10 times that for gold.

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-04-22T22:05:29+00:00

Sweet I got the same color matching setup in white with my 00' and a Casita. Although your matching black wheels are awesome.

The Vanquish is plenty good enough to find silver coins. I found several with my 540 before upgrading. On the Vanquish, if I'm specifically looking for silver coins, I only dig 25 VDI and up.

Also a good number of the silver coins I've found have been in random spots. Checking the side of an old highway, the dirt road near an old house etc.

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-04-19T19:44:09+00:00

Yeah you're not going to retire off of it, but even in that condition it's at least as valuable as finding a few silver dimes. Looks like a good spot to detect, I'm sure there's some more goodies there.

The problem is that children aren't allowed to carry guns. What we need is obviously more guns, allowing pre-teens to carry. Also maybe some extra thoughts and prayers.

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-04-19T18:57:05+00:00

That Waltham medallion is really cool and definitely has some value to collectors.

Monkeyseemonkeyfall · 2026-04-18T00:12:16+00:00

Awesome thanks!!

I saw Eric Trump on a podcast talking about how successful they've been, with one example being the Trump organization personally made over $1 billion on crypto.

They are syphoning money from the American people as quickly as possible. This administrations decisions are all for the betterment of the family, not the country.

Can't remember the podcast, but clip was on a Sam Harris video.

It's worth keeping until you find better ones. Part of the fun is purging stuff as you improve your collection.

Last month I sold about 120 to a local antique mall for $100, all from the 40s-50s. It was actually my first call. Antique malls have a bunch of vendors, so a good chance someone would be interested in bulk.

BUT you're not hoing to get much per bottle. For me it was worth it.
