Way to go. That is an awesome find.
Just proves once again that if sounds 'iffy' DIG IT !!!!. Besides, are there really still 'solid' sounding beeps left out there? It seems like every coin I have dug in the last 5 years has sounded 'iffy'.
Congrats on a great find !!

Seeing your reaction when you flipped it over and realized it was a Seated half and not a Barber was banner worthy! Truly amazing find and great recovery. I'm glad I was there to witness it come out to the light . My banner vote is in. Not too often one finds a Seated half. |

Nice find.  |
Det vi vet er så uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som går langs en strand og finner småtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene får han aldri se.
