Hello all! In light of the holiday season, I miraculously thought of this NEW thread. It's called " Wishful Thinking Wednesday!" ** Please post your thoughts and possibly an example(s) of your wishful thinking. Numismatically speaking that is. ** I've been actively/inactively interested in Metal Detecting since 2001 and have loved everything about the hobby. In my area of the country, it isn't uncommon to find large Coppers from Colonial on up to Large Cents. I've been blessed to be able to find a 1795 Large Cent, 1787 Fugio Cent, 1787 CT Copper and plenty of large cents from 1801- 1847. All were found separately. The only spill that I've found is a IHC spill of 2 stuck together and an 1876 Nickel and 1892S Barber Quarter. My wishful thinking is to one day find a "stash" of coins dropped or secretly planted near a Cellar hole preferably. Also, preferable full of Colonial coins like this Picture taken from an inactive member of this coin site....... CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE..
Oh boy! You'll have to start a fund for that one unless you've been good all year and maybe just maybe, Santa will bring it.
I have a thing for multiple thalers but rarely come across any that are affordable. This one is a 5 thaler (143.83g) currently available on ma-shops.com for a little over $30K. I can't foresee that ever being in my budget.
