    OxShoeDrew of Conn. Thank you for the welcome. Any special finds? Nothing special as of late. Although, one special find that now stands out is a quote from Andy Sabisch"s book. So often we are asked by others who have never detected, but are curious, "What is the best or most valuable thing you have ever found". That has always been hard to answer. But I think Andy pretty well summed it up with this quote. "The most valuable thing I have ever found while treasure hunting is piece-of-mind"
