    Found an oldie at a park yesterday. She is ugly but I'll keep her..

    This park has given up some oldies in the past. They are few and far between anymore but still there.
    To bad about the condition. At least I can get a date off of her. 1866.
    I think it looked better before I tried to clean it. Oh well.

    Nice find! Still waiting for my first two center. My wife found one water hunting a couple years ago.
    Last year in the same lake , she found a 1852 3 cent silver. She thought it was play money.
    Set your goals High, but your discrimination Low to achieve your desired success.

    Nope! I think she is purty!
