[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2899168, member: 10461"]Lovely. Some might fuss because I started 1788 this morning and we didn't allow a whole day for it, but I'm ready. With ... one of my [I][B]detector finds! [/B][/I] Can you imagine what a sheer adrenaline rush it was to dig [I]this[/I] one morning? I had found a holed 1776 Spanish Mexico half-real like this just the night before, only a few feet from where this one turned up, first thing the next morning. That 1776 had been my very first detector coin find from the 1700s. I was utterly [I]stoked[/I], and that was such an amazing site. Someone else had found a $5 gold piece there years earlier. That was 22 years ago. I drove by that site again today. Wish it wasn't closed to detecting now, or I'd be out there right now, bad knees or not.
