    Holy Guacamole

    I have to start by saying how this started. One day I was heading to the Goodwill store and I thought that I was being followed. Turns out I was! This guy saw the Minelab sticker on my bumper and he was a detectorist also. We talked for awhile and he mentioned hunting at the local fairgrounds where I have hunted many times. He said something about hunting in the area inside the horse track and I thought to myself, that's one of the few places I haven't hit hardly at all. So at the beginning of the year that's where I started looking. So far I've got three silver dimes and 10 wheats out of there. And my oldest coin the King George II
    half penny.
    Well today I got .77 in clad and then I dug what at first looked like another big smashed aluminum bottle cap.
    But turned out to be this.

    The second coin I figured I would never find is now off the list. 1882 Morgan. Man I'm glad that guy stopped to talk!
