The other day, somebody asked me things about the old Belgian coins. So I was checking out ALL coins we are having in the house. I already had a lot of coins before I got to detecting, 6 months ago.
So, in one of my drawers I found this beautiful coin. I see it often that you find it in the US but I thought I was never going to see one myself. Turns out I had one all my life, but never looked at it !!
The same for those French coins. They were just in my "collection".
I claim Wyoming as my home state (at least that is where I have spent most of my time) if you have never been w/in touching distance of buffalo you really can't understand just how powerfull they are. While driving in the Black Hills a herd of buffalo surrounded my car when driving in the back country -- I was driving a ford festiva which is about the same size as a buffalo. Scared the crap out of me the head alone is gigantic.
