As noted above, copper is soft, so it's susceptible to damage. At some point, something with a straight edge and harder than copper moved material...
I was raking the lawn earlier today waiting on the ham...I was thinking about metal detecting and what you were up to. Now I see. Another...
Hi Jim - that bit of a halo is common enough that a person like me, who doesn’t really collect proofs, has come to notice. I noticed this on a...
