When I was a kid, a friend and I went to their lakeside camp and we decided to do some metal detecting there. We found tons of stuff: coins,...
A classmate of mine growing up found an 1838 Coronet Large Cent the other day metal detecting. VF/XF details. Keep dreaming: it could happen!...
I've been shifting my paradigm. Not doubled in the context of the old paradigm, but by a new paradigm, the anomaly produced does have a similar...
Class 2 doubling. Fun find when the devices are crisp!!

Multi Million Dollar Shack...comes with the 'book deals'. ;) I agree with @masterswimmer ...you can't rely on square angles in a home of any...

Photos -24 and -27 show the most promise. Lighting direction is probably important here. On a couple, intensity and direction wash out the...
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts. But keep looking!
Some future collector is going to have a hard time liberating those coins!! Nice effort!!
