I have a bell that I found, which
is about five inches tall and says Chiantel Fondeur...1878 Saichelecier...Can
you tell me something about it? Does it have any value?
Texas State Parks regulations currently
prohibit recreational metal detecting in any of the state parks. Members of
the Texas Council of Treasure Clubs have requested that the Parks Department
change the regulation but they claim that Sections 191.0525 and 191.092 of the
Texas Antiquities Code preclude recreational metal detecting in state parks.
The Texas Council does not agree with that interpretation and are asking you
sign a petition at the following website:
Good morning, Guys......If you have a moment; just wanted to know
if you have heard of anyone looking into treasure sites in the San Blas Islands
of Panama?
Thanks for your time, Jim Peterson, Gardnerville

Dug up an old iron hand welded artifact from a South Hampton, Long
Island NY farmfield. I was hoping you might be able to give me some insight on
it? It's a round disc about 6" in circumfrence. It has a five pointed star with
a large square headed box nail-like spike or rivet through it's core.
The
star could go back to colonial times I guess. It's pretty well rusted through
and has become one seven pound chunk of iron. The whole piece appears to have
been welded buy a blacksmith artisian. Remnants of horse shoes may have been
found nearby but were too deteriorated to age. I'm curious if there was
any Calvary on Long Island?
Thanks, Brian
Hi: Can you give me information on an area called "Coin Beach"

Louisiana Purchase...This was found between the RR tracks and the Des
Moines River on May 10th 1999. I found it with my GTA 350. It was down about
38". At first, I thought that it was a badge. I soaked it in catsup for an hour
and that helped clean it up a little. I got on the Internet
and found out what it was. I have a standing offer of $15,000 cash from a car
dealer. It's not for
sale.

Tomorrow's parking
lot...I live in Killeen, Texas. We do not have a lot of historical artifacts in
existance. Other than a few old structures from the early 1900's on a whole, we
do not have many tangible reminders of our past. Recently I received permission
to use my metal detector on an area where several homes once stood. Soon a
parking lot will exist.
Today I found an Indian Head penny 1907, a 1920 D
wheat penny, a 1956 wheat, and a 1937 D buffalo nickel with my 1236x2 Fisher
metal detector. These were the oldest finds, since I recovered a Good Luck token
with no date a year ago, compliments The First National Bank Killeen,
Tx.
Where I found the old coins, a bull dozer had cut out 7 to 8 inches of
top soil.
The Minnesota
beaches...have given up their TREASURES AGAIN this year! My best year yet,
Park Treasures...I found
this is Raymond NH in a park that is very small and well used. I saw a picture
at the Town Hall that showed this park being used as a carnival area many years
ago. Most of the park is made into roadway and sidewalks now, but I did manage
to find several really nice coins there that are proceless to me. Thank you
for many years of enjoyment and guidance in your magazine. Click

Church Relics...My local news station affiliate WKMG
news in Orlando, Florida, just aired a story of monumental historical &
possibly biblical proportions. According to the news article, a church in
Chicago, Illinois announced they had opened a wall safe, and in it were
loads of solid gold religious and historic artifacts, that could solve the
mysteries of the holy grail, the Russian crown jewels, and the lost cities
of Atlantis and El Dorado, and may also solve the mysteries of the
lost necklace of Marie Antoinette and the lost gold of Alexandria. After
viewing the video, and seeing jewel encrusted crowns, & scepters, I
emailed representatives of the US Government, the state of Illinois, the
Vatican, & the United Nations, to make sure those governments, who may be
able to establish legal claims to their treasures, were given the opportunity to
travel to Illinois, to examine the treasures, to determine ownership of the
artifacts. I hope your readers understand, these objects have internationally
historic & religious archival implications, & may help solve mysteries
that were unsolved for many decades. I hope you decide to publish this article,
for your reader's enjoyment. Thank you.
