<p>[QUOTE="Meathead, post: 2821243, member: 89305"]The odd thing is the edges or end or...im sure there is a name for what i mean .. but the outer rims of the coins are like a bicycle tire on sum, then a fewsre like a newer quarter shape with the ribs or rige and one or two seem like a nickel smooth... But there all exa kly the same width... As i try to toothbrush them i keep thinking i see a number or letter faintly.. its makein me cookoo...i have a susppition of what they are after endless hours of searching for blank copper coins... I have a feeling i might of figured it out! And im just getting sinking feeling that my saxon copper coin hoard ,actually my captain kid hidden treasure exererson is comin too a end quickly.. the Captain Kidd treasure thing been stuck in my head ,since I found the first couple coins...shh dont tell any one....( I even played sick today from work <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />..butt Supposedly several locations as close as in 1 to 5 miles that kids treasures are still out there . Over the past two weeks I've gone to the measures of researching geological maps surveys.. even paid 22 bucks from some website for a map from 1800s just to see !! (Yes i paid like 44$ right after because the map went all the way back to 1820s)That feeling kicked in after cleaning a couple up just now with a brillow pad.... I've seen them before . And unfortunately it's even in my field as a plumber.. for the past 28years i even installed themm myself... Hopefully im totally wrong .... Looks like it's time for some more research... So what im thinkin i found.is that there old old style tags for water and or steam valves or even gas valves..commercial industrial... Typicaly... they usually stamped with a numbed used for identification on and referring to a blueprint schematic..the thing I did figure out just now with my 70$ treasure maps is the land also abuts to the reservoir and is the city Water Department headquarters .... That's wheret I'm going to first visit will be the water department lot with a couple tags to see if it's something that they would use will come on the big valves that they install that they cut off and they probably threw into the woods or some thing day aftet day...over and over... I know that's what they did definitely for water and steam shut-offs ...dam!! I guess was actually kind of fun will excitement or possibly a midlife crisis or something..who k ows.. but I'm still hoping I'm totally wrong and that by the time I hit post, what I just typed here..that you guys will have an answer on there cuz I ,,, seen a couple e-mails told me that they were posted replys to my original question... Ma great copper&gold hoard.. istilll safely buried up the woods waiting for me.. I remember I used them when I startef working with my old man.. so when the bills came in he was Flipp cuz those tags cost so much .. sorry so going on and on.. a post up what I find out I'm going to get going over there now to find out its killing me[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
