BYE BYE 07 Here are some totals ( Pictures added )
The year has ended.
Had a nice year with friends like Skinny Puppy/ Visceral ( He keeps changing it ) and
Water Color and my friend Jim.
Had many great adventures with them.
The 1877 SEATED DIME story was the best.
That was better then all the GOLD I found.
Well won’t bore you guys with all of the years events, too many good ones
Silver count was 68 Goal was 100
No SEATED COIN for me again this year.
Found a CLASS RING but no luck in finding the owner
He moved out of state but left no forwarding address.
I’ll keep trying.
No item found that could be RETURNED TO THE OWNER like my
friend JIM did…GRRRRRRR Nice Job JIM…….
