<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2316125, member: 34882"]I did a lot of metal detecting with my father when I was a young boy in the 80's and helped him fill many jars of coins. Although I kept a couple collection jars when I was a kid, I didn't really get back into collecting until 2011 as an adult. My father was diagnosed with lung cancer mid way through 2011 and I spent a lot of time with him until he passed in Feb, 2012. During this time I joined the forum and learned a ton from many of you here. In fact I went back to see some of my first posts and it's amazing how far I've come in the past five years knowledge and collection wise. Some of my favorite coins are ones that I've kept in small tube for almost 25 years now. Although they mostly consist of only beat up junk silver that's been cleaned with lemon juice, toothpaste, you name it from when I was a kid and didn't no any better. But the memories attached are priceless, vividly remember finding them with my father detecting on the families old farm land and under old house porches in Massachusetts where I grew up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
