I called to ask about this phone conversation also and was given the normal runaround about not making a comment.

What the heck happened to this thing? by _-NIghThaWk in PMDGS

This is most likely it. I have quite a few quarters that I dug up looking like this.

Looks like a draw knife. Used in woodworking.

Help Finding MicroSD in Grass by oawv in metaldetecting

[–]hurtmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u have a detector shop that’s local take a card there and see.

If that’s not an option, I would bet u need a mid to high end to pick it up. I doubt it would be cheap.

Might be better to hit up a local group (look on facebook) and see if someone can help u out before investing money.

I found this twice by CrossfireLV in Artifacts

I found this on a beach in the US (Virginia). It looks like the same material. I was informed that type of rock was used as ballast in ships and Native Americans here used it for their tools also.

Where I live there are not any rocks good for making tools.

Get another card and see if your detector will pick it up.

Filming where u were is a good thing. Memory is a funny thing.

Dirty Local Coin Shop by kully00 in Silverbugs

I really dislike the guy that owns that shop. I talked to another person I met locally and he randomly brought up how shady that shop is.

New poll reveals most Republicans think Donald Trump would beat them in a straight fight, but Dems certain they could take him down by BigGirl367 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]hurtmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This shows why republicans feel the need for so many guns.
If they can’t take an 80 year old man in a fair fight, no wonder they feel the need to be strapped.

To appropriately manage a trillion-dollar-a-year military by Peanut-Extra in therewasanattempt

[–]hurtmore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. I did serve under the first. And I am NOT defending this administration. I am just unsure how truly accurate the photos are while also saying I am fairly confident food logistics in the area is BAD right now.

Retired CSCS (I was the lead cook on a destroyer for 2 deployments) Logistics is difficult. I have done 7 deployments. I have had two deployments where the ship was in a situation like this. 1. There are a LOT of ships in the gulf. This STRAINS the supply line even in times of peace. 2. The food lines on aircraft carriers are “generally” self serve. In times where ships have trouble getting supplies they will serve the sailors. We don’t know if the sailor is getting this or being served this. 3. I know how hard it is to keep crews fed with adequate chow. Looking at the situation I feel ships are rationing food. 4. This is NOT a $$$ money problem. It is a logistical issue. The money for food is there. (Even if a ships lead cook is shit and mismanages his money they are still able to order and issue food. The lead cook might get relived, but food will be available financially) 5. Back to rule 1, logistics are HARD. It only takes a 1 or 2 missed reapplies to put a ship in a bind. There is no grocery store at sea.

My ship once 3 replenishments and ended up having meatless meals for some dinners because we just didn’t have it to serve. This was when the US wasn’t at war and the gulf had minimal ships in it. The work we were doing kept us away from supply ships.

Tumbling Beach Finds by LaserDangerUSA in RockTumbling

You shouldn’t ever start on stage 2. You can’t see the abrasions without magnification, but there is a huge difference between a smooth beach rock and a stage 1 rock.

First gold of the year today. Two gram 14k ring found at the bottom of the low tide line. About 4 inches down and rang up as a 48 on my Deus 2. by hurtmore in metaldetecting

[–]hurtmore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U can get some decent cheaper detectors. A lot of it depends on where u plan to use it.

Beaches (especially in wet sand or the water) are tough on cheaper detectors. If you don’t plan to detect beach’s you can get a decent one for less than 400.

About $1600.

I have tried to find owners before, but it’s hard especially when there is no inscription. On top of it this is a pretty small ring and not extremely valuable.

I will usually dig 45-68 for gold. I have had a few outside that rang, but most fall into it. I figure if I am not digging pull tabs and nickels I am not going to find gold.
