<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2553795, member: 71723&quot;]I know that in some areas of the country, where numismatists can assume that &quot;everything&quot; is out there and known (I STILL believe they&#039;re wrong, but whatever...) they spout stuff like &quot;If it&#039;s not in a slab, there&#039;s a reason.&quot; I heard Matt Dinger say EXACTLY that on the Coin Show Radio podcast with [USER=307]@mikenoodle[/USER]. My recollection is thinking that Matt must be smoking something. But it IS a regional thing. There are still hoards of colonials being discovered where I live, and not with metal detectors, either. Glass jars hidden where floor joists meet walls and stuff like that as Gen-X yuppies rehab old colonial homes are yielding incredible hoards of original material. These towns, many of them, date to the very EARLY 1700&#039;s. My college was founded in 1787, man. These are old places, at least in the American context.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
