Mike, that's just beautiful! I know what iffy seated at 10" sounds like  What a thrill! HUGE CONGRATS, HIGH FIVES and BOOYAHS for unearthing some real treasure there!!! Someone was really unfortunate to lose that back in the day, but I think you're even more fortunate finding it today. |

Congrats again, Mike. We were all thinking Barber as you were pulling it out of the hole. I still can't believe it was a seated. Way to go!  |

Way to go! Stand up and take a seat(ed)!
Nice Indian Heads too...
I don't think I'll post what my "iffy signals" resulted in today.
Mainly because after about 16 inches down into one hole I gave up, and the other one was looking the same so I stopped after about 10 inches. The deeper hole may have been right through the middle of a barrel hoop!

007,
Congratulations on your unreal find and for making it to the banner! I cannot imagine what I'd do if I found something like that. Just unreal (not unreale, in which case it would also apply).
wah wah wahhh. Wow, sorry.
lol, congrats again!
Joe
