I'm approaching 38 years of detecting and I thought I would have found a silver dollar and a gold coin by now. I guess. I'll just keep dreaming and stay positive.

OK OK...I'm wrong..I should be use to it..I guess the lady with the Madussa hair and crazy expression in her eyes (I hear that it was made in the likeness of my wife when she hears I'm going detecting) is "flowing"...and we call the "bow" a cap?...I'm still learning this "early" stuff
Poor Tony...knows more about this than me..and he hasn't found one yet.......As mel Fisher would say..today is the day...now go out and find one

the idea came from the older versions of lady liberty like on the old coppers they had a lady figure holding a rod and on top was a cap . A liberty cap sat on the top of this rod (you can just see part of the hat on top of the pole on this coin. they took this same idea and just put liberty's face on the coins and also the symbolic cap on the rod .
