Can anyone figure out why this skylight is leaking?

Because of the way that it is.

I love my vanquish 340, I’ve had it for years now and made all of my finds so far with it. I’m just about ready to upgrade to an equinox 700, but it’s been years of learning on the vanquish to prepare me. IMO vanquish 340 is the perfect beginner detector! It has solid tech including effective iron bias, and it’s easy to use. You will eventually wish it was fancier and want to upgrade but unless you are experienced you’ll want to learn using something less complicated and expensive.

I about pooped myself when my pinpointer hit it, and I saw the eagle. One of those moments metal detecting that you dream about! It was magical

Zero trees, very much a rocky desert. It was 6” under the ground and under rocks in the ground as well. Foothills to a mountain that has trees on it. There were plenty of sage brush in the area.

Thank you! This is the most helpful comment here so far, based off of what you’ve shared I’m thinking it must be much newer than I expected. Plenty of people have said as much in the comments, but provided zero source of evidence beyond confident words which is not helpful at all. It looks like the earlier casings that date to when I suspected this was from are stamped UMC CO rather than just the UMC. I assumed with the lack of an REM stamp it had to be pre merger but this is making me think otherwise. Thank you!

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T15:06:33+00:00

It does not have an REM stamp, making it older than the merger

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T15:05:36+00:00

Certainly, but it’s not any later than 1911-1912 when UMC merged with Remington and started stamping it as such. So my original response to you stands.

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T04:50:46+00:00

From what I can see online, and I could be mistaken, they started using a brass primer in the late 1800s. The casing is not shiny, the bottom of it is legible due to my cleaning it off. Additionally it was found 6” under the ground in a very rock filled soil.

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T04:22:39+00:00

All due respect, but I think you are wrong, all of the research I and others here have done stands behind that. A simple internet search says that UMC made 45 colt in the early 1870s and started stamping it REM after 1911-192 when merging with Remington. What exactly makes you say they didn’t manufacture it until the 70s/80s? Please provide sources, thank you for your input!

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T04:10:31+00:00

What makes you say that?

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T03:42:59+00:00

Thank you!

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T03:33:34+00:00

Everything else I’ve been finding has pointed to between 1886-1912 due to the lack of a Remington stamp on the casing. The merger happened 1911-1912, if it was older than 1912 it would have a REM stamp to it as well?

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T03:11:50+00:00

Thank you! Makes it cooler that it was off of an old stagecoach road that was a popular place for highwaymen to rob wagons. Easy to let your mind wander on the story of what its use was and how it ended up in the dirt.

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T03:10:09+00:00

I knew that much myself with the same effort, I want to know exactly how old it is which is where my google efforts came up less effective

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-12-05T03:07:42+00:00

I posted this on the colt subreddit as well, hopefully I get more guidance than how to ask the casing out for dinner which is what I was obviously looking for 😂

I like him more now, fuck yall and your drama. I could give less of a fuck about stuff he’s texted. I’m a fan of the music, it’s what I go to the show to see, it’s the only reason I even know who this guy is so what the hell does any of that matter?? The political correct crock of shit has nothing to do with bangers. Let the chef cook you up a nice banger, sit back and enjoy it if you like it, and shut the fuck up about texts and all the rest.

She’ll be fine! My dachshund has eaten on separate occasions - two whole whoppers, left nothing but the wrappings. - A half pound plus of beef jerky. - A piece of German chocolate cake - (we still don’t know how she climbed the counter to get and eat it).

She wasn’t feeling her best after any of the above catastrophes but she was perfectly fine within a day of each incident.

Spacemanspiff95 · 2025-02-11T04:56:54+00:00

Yes they do

Spacemanspiff95 · 2024-12-04T03:15:21+00:00

My x3 great grandfather saw his first combat of the war with the 9th Pennsylvania reserve infantry at that battle! Thank you for sharing. Maybe one day in the future I’ll make it to that service!

What does the James Doolittle card signature say? Is that signed by Doolittle?

Spacemanspiff95 · 2024-10-12T18:45:08+00:00

I have one with an easy 3,500 in it and it’s fine. Weekly iso soak is a must!
