Wow! Now thats lucky.
You do have to be carefull where you metal detect. Doing it in national parks, and some state parks can get you into some legal trouble.
We ARE talking about the 10 coins confiscated from the heirs of the late Israel Switt, aren't we? No one is sure how he ended up with them. He was...
I know, he's not REALLY old. I said "older", which is a relative term. And since I am 22 it doesn't take much to qualify as "older", especially in...
Hehe. I figured you would make a comment about that tdec. I'm enjoying the contest. I think I'll sponsor another one this winter.

My dad gave me two proof sets from my birthyear, 1983. Shortly after that he gave me a really nice 1899-O Morgan dollar, which is when I really...
I think American colonial coins are underrated. Uncommon ones are often relatively affordable.
In my opinion: Peace dollars are nice. Morgans are better. But I have to agree with walterallen on Weinman's designs - beautifull. Especially the...
I don't beleive it is proof. By the way tdec, you asked me about the coin shows out my way. The one in St. Louis over the weekend was great.
Cool. Thank you both very much. I'm glad you knew about the Thai one satootoko, so I didn't have to post pics. My camera sucks. Anyway, your...
