I know a few folks 'round here who will enjoy seeing that pic and hearing more.

Just the small 2 pence was valued buy a red book contributor at 6 figures ,I can not afford to buy this collection.It was recovered with my metal detector.Only Doctors and Lawyers can afford to buy these,,,so honestly they have been dug in Massachusetts NH and Maine with Fisher and Teknetics metal detectors.

That is an amazing grouping, and you certainly have dug a lot of them. Definitely a bucket list coin for anyone with a metal detector. The rarity and value must be in the variants, because as far as tree coins in general, I have seen a lot posted.

Like what you said about your new Deus. Got mine in November and it looks like it's 1000 years old. Got another Confederate button today with it.

Hank, great to see you posting again. I remember you posting those coins as you were finding them years ago, and I never get tired of seeing them. I hope to see you posting more goodies soon! I have been taking a bit of a break from digging myself due to work and back issues but still come by to check out the latest finds. You still diving?

Steve
