as i was driving home from doing a family friend a favor i started to pass a field that i had worked
there was one guy at the far end of the field with an ace 250
i decided to stop and see how he was doing and ask if he got permission for the field
he had only dug canslaw and was about ready to leave and he thought the field was town property
i explained that the land was owned by a land conservancy and he needed to get their permission
showed him the letter that i have giving me permission
as i started to walk away i got a hit that i thought was more canslaw and keep moving
before i could take more then a few steps i went back to dig the hit the sound was just to good to pass up
there is
2 half dimes 1850 1857
12 barber dimes (7) 1892 and 5 1893
1 seated liberty 20 cent piece 1875
