    I edited a few posts in red just so we can number them off. When we get to ten, we can do the poll.

    If there was more detail visible, this might get my vote, for being very intriguing! Unfortunately, I can only see a slug there.

    Very cool. And a somewhat better date, too, if I remember correctly?

    Unless something really cool comes up in the next three finds, I’ve pretty much made up my mind on what I’ll be voting for.

    @lordmarcovan I am with you on that! I am surprised someone would just leave that nickel.
