    Well I would but most of my finds were from earlier times when no camera was available while I was detecting Oldest coin I have dug was In Bowie Texas and it was an 1857 Flying cent, My best find this year was a Barber Half it was dug at a Place called Casino Beach in Lake Worth Texas . I live in Azle Texas . I have not been doing much digging in the past 8 months as I was diagnosed with colon Cancer and slowly getting over my second Surgery and on the road to recovery and cancer free by the Grace of God and prayers from my Family and friends . Hope to post future finds here as well as see other finds from you guys and gals Thanks for welcoming me to the forums
