My article was published online this morning so I captured these screen shots on my computer. It was very nice, Dan, to walk out of that site a few weeks ago with a couple of more coins. I wonder what else is hiding there?

That is really awesome, congrats! That coin is beyond amazing.

I see you had Mark Parker answer your question about the window latch and published that too!
Can I have your autograph?

I found that window latch at one of my Civil War sites near Chickamauga, GA. I dug there for ten years before moving North to the land of Colonial goodies. I always thought it was a gun part but, on a whim, decided to "Ask Mark Parker" in Western & Eastern Treasures. He struggled with it for a week until he figured it out. He's really good at his "job." I will be hosting a book signing at Barnes and Noble from 1:00pm - 3:00pm today or until Security kicks me out, whichever comes first!!!I see you had Mark Parker answer your question about the window latch and published that too!
