    home to eat.
    I was a 100 yards or so from the car and like always decided to detect
    until I got to the car, about half way I got a great signal, 6 inches or so
    on the ace 250 and it was between the 50 cent and 1.00 signal, I was
    like, beer can or pop can, but said im digging it and thank God I did.
    After recovering it and I ran to the car and drove 80 to get home to
    show the family who was so happy for me.
    That is the story of the old lady !!

    ONLY a morgan....are you kidding? Well if you happen to come across more of these unsightly and useless little coins let me know. I'm sure I could be convinced to take them off your hands.
