    There’s a lot in Fernandina Beach that had a produce stand at one end and a snow cone stand at the other. The snow cone stand (now gone) had a drive through window with a dirt strip 1’x6’ beneath it. I took my metal detector and harvested 367 coins out of that strip. Mostly pennies it only added up to $4.27.

    My minuscule understanding of life and economics in Thailand leads me to think you could be spot on with that conversion and what it could represent over there.

    Definitely agree, your wife is a good soul.

    Thanks guys. I do plan on keeping her! Eagle eye like that, she will probably find some more money soon.

    Do you ever find civil war stuff. Sent you a package this morn. Keep the Guam. It’s like a Ms67. They did a good job at W Point

    I have to go down to one knee to get them. Then call an ambulance to get up

    LOL. I'm pretty much there myself. Can't kneel anymore. Have to bend at the waist.

    My metal detecting career is all but over.

    Oh- @Cheech9712 - were you asking if I had found any Civil War relics in Fernandina?

    Not many, though Fort Clinch was nearby. One military relic I did find in one of the sand roadbeds in Old Town Fernandina was a US War of 1812 Artillery Corps cuff button, which looked like the smaller example in the picture below.

    are you still in the area? Old Town never yielded much but Fernandina has been friendly.

    No, I lived in Fernandina in the late 1970s. Last detected there around '95. Love that old watch- it's super cool. So much so that I remember seeing it before. Early Spanish silver! Woohoo!

    I'm an hour or so north, now. Brunswick/Golden Isles, GA. Pretty similar landscape.

    .925? Now they are just dropping off gift wrapped items instead of making you go detect them. :woot:
