    this is what you chipped a knee cap and torn your miniscus for just shameful Dave \ I would of expected you doing the great bodily harm to yourself only running away or defending some rare precious coppers from the coin starving hoards or at the very least a couple of jealous detecting buddies like Todd and Johnny blaze (aka Phil Simms) . better heal up fast my friend

    Dave does that one even look like it had a back to it ?? some don't but most do . the ones that do are the newer types early to mid 1800's but the open end ones are colonial.

    You are a good sport Dave. It is also a sign of respect. When the king is down, that's when you pounce lol
