I did not put that scratch on her face. Found on a sledding hill in Holyoke MA about 3" deep.

Very nice find... Too bad about the scratch, but atleast you can tell it apart from the others...

When I found that coin I had only been MDing about three weeks. I was using a 190.00 whites classic II. Anyway, I was hooked early on in this hobby. I miss it in the winter. Right now the ground's so hard you couldn't jack hammer a hole in a pile of...well, top soil. When I get the real bug again, I'll have to hit the RI beaches for the day. HH
