My little girl is a good coin dog (not really, she just likes to sit with me all the time, and is quiet, so that makes her good in my book). I have a bunch of dogs, and that's how I likes it, but I've been out on the East Coast helping out my folks for a couple years now (I have a house in Michigan with my GF), so I've only now got one dog with me and she is mostly boxer (50%), with some Jack Russell terrier, Staffordshire terrier, and "hound". She is scared of EVERYTHING (rescue), which is often an eye roller, but I love her very much.
@Mac McDonald concerning your 1885 cc, the chatter on the cheek is much more acceptable than 2 or 3 bag marks. If I were still collecting Morgan's, I would be quite pleased to have that beauty in my collection.

California sunset last night Reverse of 500 lire coin Cheap trilobite from China with sandstone Dremeled/filed away
Is that a real trilobite??!?!! Love it!!! Gosh, when I was a kid we would go to the Badlands sometimes and search for fossils - we wouldn't recognize them but it was fun to climb around and grab rocks - then go to the local roadside fossil store and buy some trilobites (not anything like that amazeballs piece) for a quarter each - or a nice fossil fish for a couple bucks if dad was feeling expansive.
As far as I know it is real (the head is missing). I bought it shipped from China for a buck or so. I also have some fish fossils from the Green River Formation we bought in Kemmerer, Wyoming.
In my younger days I had a passion for (early rock collecting) and later collecting fossils In Northeast Ohio. Trilobites are common in Ohio. I may have a couple part pieces but mostly shells and fish teeth and possibly ancient shark teeth. I dug them out directly from certain strata where Tinker's Creek and other tributaries and rivers dug deep into the bedrock in between sandstones. (By the way under Lake Erie are miles deep of salt mines, where a good deal of road salt comes from). Underneath these strata. Anyway I once took a specimen of mine to show an eminent university geology professor in Cleveland. He was impassive. About the same time I inquired of the local library in Bedford about if they had any info on fossils in Bedford gorge. They hadn't but a couple years later the librarian sent me a clipping that the professor had made a huge discovery of a great find of an ancient fossil shark in the gorge! Now almost all these areas are Federal park-so I think fossil hunting is verboten.
