Found these today. I always check but rarely find silver! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Why was that field chosen? Did someone have reason to believe it was full of goodies for some reason? Or were these planted to be found? Seems...
I've got one of his I've been meaning to submit for grading. A Papal visit, if I recall. Gotta go dig to find it - I bought it about a decade ago...
