You don't need a bath. Go to bed dirty and smelly just like the Colonial guys who lost those relics. :laughing9: I hope your wife understands that you are just trying to live the Colonial life. :laughing9:

Fantastic find! That is an amazing coin and the Eden House story just makes it that much more intriguing. Thats what I love about this hobby!

Does your computer have a macro mode? It is usually a tulip icon.

Re: My Oldest Coin Yet!!!!!!

Change your title to 'Oldest Token Yet - 1669'.

This deserves more attention & the banner ! This has a great tale to tell, you have yet to say if you plan to share it with the Archies?

I do know a archaeologist that is head of those working on the Queen Ann's Revenge.He has seemed like a nice enough guy in the past to talk with.If I can catch him in at the Maritime Museum here.I will see what he says!
