I would like to find the money Bob Herrin stashed on Flat Top Mountain in southwest Oklahoma that my great-great uncle Hiram McClain, great Scottish fiddler and true Texian looked for but never found. (As far as we know) Just find it, say yeah it's there, and leave it there. I know he'd look down and smile, and say 'I knew it was there.' (Or maybe he would be lookin up, through whatever prairie dog hole he could find open. Never know how you'll be judged at the last rodeo.)

Right now, a Liberty Cap Cent. I will do anything to own one, none in my collection so I guess the only way to get one would be to find one metal detecting or spend at least $100 for an example on Ebay.

After giving this some more thought, I'd also love to find a nice condition Morgan solver dollar. I bought one at a flea market when about 30 years ago while I was in school. Then I lost it. But I always liked the look of the Morgans.

It would be great to find any valuable old coins, but a Flying Eagle cent would be sweet to find.

Other than a couple of silver rings, the only post able find I've had was a 1941 silver quarter. Oddly, the rings and quarter came in the same hunt. So my dream find at this point would be ANY gold coin. I once found a Chuck Cheese token and got all excited until my son with much better eyes told me it was from the "Charles Cheeser Era". Bummed.
