<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24662652, member: 92655"]Story..... I was in the fourth or fifth grade in Oklahoma. My mother had given me a Franklin half to buy my lunch with at school. I had never seen a coin like that and went hungry that day. A rabid young coin collector was born..... Go forward a few months and I am on the playground at school and I find a pirate coin on the playground!.. It was a modern copy of course but I was hearing none of it because we all know that pirates hide their booty on school playgrounds in Oklahoma.... But I was such a hooked coin junkie by then...</p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward through the years and the pirate coin always burned in some compartment in my head. The army put me in South Carolina and I stayed in the 1980's... 1989 rolls around and our state is brutalized by hurricane Hugo. In the aftermath a coin collecting and metal detector buddy invited me to the coast with him. He wanted to search the coast after the hurricane. I went with him and found the coin below and my childhood pirate coin dream had finally been realized.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1572277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1572278[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
