<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SensibleSal66, post: 25848680, member: 115232&quot;]Hello everyone! This is a new thread about showing and telling a short story about a Coin, Token or Medal in your collection. For example, how, when and where you acquired it.</p><p>&nbsp; This little gem was found while Metal Detecting in early 2000&#039;s with a friend. We decided to detect an out of anyone&#039;s way spot. It was a small cellar hole that was very difficult to access but was very well worth it! We weren&#039;t finding much besides old junk and a few old buttons when all of a sudden, I got a great signal. It was close to the surface and when I kicked the leaves, a nice Silver suspender buckle appeared!![ATTACH=full]1647823[/ATTACH] <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s in my media pages and dated AUG. 16 1876 along the top inside. I swept across the area again and got a faint but solid little signal just to the side where the buckle was found. I thought it might be another small button when all of sudden I saw this beautiful pattern staring back at me, figuratively speaking.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp; When I saw it was in decent condition and dated 1856, I totally flipped out! I think my friend who drove us there in his Jeep was a little jealous.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp; Anyways, that&#039;s my story and I&#039;m sticking with it! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1647821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1647822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
