inHot take: I bought a 'working' 1970s turntable at the Springfield flea market for $40 and it died after two spins.
Check the belt and motor before you junk it.

inI changed my mind about buying a cheap metal detector
Honestly @valallen, that's fair if it works for you. Kinda feel like the constant beeping keeps me from getting lazy though, makes me check the hole every time. My old machine with discrimination just let me zone out and I'd miss good stuff. Sometimes a little annoyance is a good thing.

inHonestly, I thought the local history museum would be boring until I saw the old city directories
Totally get that. I was helping my aunt clean out our town's old historical society storage room and found a box of unmarked photos. I mean, we were just about to toss them when I flipped one over and saw my grandma's maiden name and "summer 1951" written in pencil. It was her and her sisters at a lake I didn't even know our family went to. Idk, it just felt more real holding that faded picture than seeing a scanned version online. Those old physical records are a different kind of magic.
