Great find and thanks for the story. The silver gods blessed you well. Found my first merc the other day and it was motivating seeing that beautiful work of art laying in the dirt. Good luck in the future.

Wow, How exciting and what A thrill you must have had. I read a story in The Turnbo Manuscripts about an oldtimer who drilled a hole in a log and filled it with gold pieces and then plugged it. Thanks for sharing your story.....Steve
