    Nice find. Can't wait to see what else you find lurking under the surface. And I also got chased off by a massive rain storm while out detecting. >:\ All I found was that you get awfully soaked when you park far away from where you are hunting. :-\ Anywho... Great coin man. HH.
    If its old or gold, I'm down, Ya dig?
