WOW.
Look at the linked page.
Exactly.
They say “there ain’t no Santa Claus in the coin business”, but the Quarter Master is the next best thing, maybe. (Or so you’d say if you ever...
The Quarter Master, on the other hand, is no myth. He’s very real. Mysterious and unknown, to be sure, but quite real... and not me.

Same guy. And that ain’t a fraction of his finds. I wouldn’t believe some of them except I’ve seen the guy in action. He’s very, very skilled...
Check out the point my dig buddy found since the last time I saw him. [ATTACH] And speaking of shark teeth, the same guy found THIS Megalodon....
