    Unearthed a piece of silver this morning.

    Went out in the backyard for about 45 minutes this morning for a little practice before the rain started and found this little cutie when I cleaned it of I noticed I had hit it with my digger, bummer. crying01

    Nice find! Bummer on the scratch.

    I think you have the dream property. Most of us are just itching to get access to property that old.

    That's a nice old barber. Yeah, I have gouged a few coins throughout the years too. It sure hurts.

    Nice Barber Charlie and with that 41 acres you got your own little private detecting area that will keep you busy for quite a while. I know there are more goodies there and can;t wait to see what else you find as you cover more ground there!!!
