I snuck out while my wife was on errands, and in between honey-do list items. The metal reads "...the grand army of the republic" 1886. The small cent is a Canadian Centennial cent.

That's a Great hour long hunt with some Sweet silver and I can relate to that " where are you honey" call. Lol

A couple weeks ago I got off work early and thought the wife wouldn't be home for a while after I got home. Grabbed the CTX and went for a quick hunt before she'd get home.
Lucky for me my first hit was a Sweet seated dime. Ten minutes later I get a text from the wife asking where I was. Lol

Those coins are terrific and in a 1 hour hunt? Can't ask for more than that! Many wives just can't understand how addictive this " hobby" can be.Nice job!

Once you find a sweet coin like a seated it's all gravy after that. My wife said to get my arse home and I said "ok!"

Do you know how far of a ride it is for them to get to you?
Real far!!!! All that way for a OD??? Lol

I think he would drive a very long way just to find an OD Nickel, break the curse, and make us all stop messing with him! Lol.

You were so close to a Dime Trifecta
You must really love your wife, lol

A trifecta would have been icing. I had one earlier in the year with a seated/barber/Merc. I'm hoping to pull a capped silver out of there before things wrap up. So far from this site...

I think you don't deserve to be treated like that, it's without taste, and completely uncalled for...

But man I'm jealous you have a coin named after you!
