    I like the Civil War things that you found today. I found the railroad stuff quite interesting. My husband was a blacksmith, and he would take old railroad spikes and turn them into tools. So whenever we went to the yard sale, that was the first thing he asked about.
    I saw a snippet of you in England doing that hunting for history. I would love to know how I could find them to watch them Kathy.

    Sir will you show us your coin collection. I presume those of the Civil war and Independence may have also lost larger denominations than a cent etc.
    Furthermore is the cent the smallest sum ? We in the UK had half penny's and farthings (a quarter of a penny) there was a time they would literally cut coins in half and quarters. ( I think you may have found something on River Hunters).
    All the best.

      Any metal near the coil would be a problem. The electric current in the motor probably would not affect it too much, but electric lines, even buried ones, sometimes do, so I can't say for sure.
