Back at the beginning of April I had posted on Face Book a picture of some old coins I had found. One of my Face Book friends commented on the photo and said that she liked the coins and mentioned that she had lost a class ring when she was a girl. I had graduated with this lady back in 1970...

Wondering if there are any MD'ers in my area?

I'm sorry to say I haven't been out MD'ing much the last few months. The weather has been great here lately so I decided to go to a small unmarked park not far from here. I hunted it hard with my DFX that last few years and managed a large cent and a very nice 1861 half dime. I wasn't...
