Late 30's! Unfortunately the condition doesn't make it of much value....but the venture and discovery make it fun!
I have always wanted to explore with a detector. Many years ago on some of our property in FL there were several dilapidated homes that had belonged to a swedish community. As kids we loved to go there and explore. Found lots of broken plates, a few perfume bottles. I guess that is what spurred my love for the search...wondering who owned items... Would have loved to have a detector then!
