    What's on your Bucket List?

    What's something you really would like to find, but it eludes you?
    I'm looking for my first 1700s coin... my oldest is an 1801 Draped Bust Large Cent... so close but yet so far!
    I <3 colonial relics!

    I would be esctatic if I could get my bride to detect with me. She golfs & hikes with me but so far fishing & metal detecting are not her cup of tea.
