    I think I need to plan a trip to the UK. The only EU vacation was Italy but that was before I had a detector and those tours don't give you time at any place to find spots to detect. Can't imagine it would look good me out there in the roman ruins while the tour guide is pointing out the monuments.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
