A fannypack full of pulltabs and bottle caps + THIS = a "REAL" good day...

Dear Mr. Homeowner. Thank you for NOT letting me dig your precious lawn. Undaunted, I went to that crappy-looking lawn down the street where I dug a heap o'trash... then this.



So: I know the basics -- an 8-real piece, 1792. Any other info you can tell me? Thanks! Whit in Nashville

You're in NYC? That's my hometown. Haven't had much success finding places to dig there...

You never Know?
He dug that one in the Nashville Area (pretty far inland) Big Deep River Close By I think (only been there Once 'Portland Actually' in 1995. Could have been brought inland later then lost?
I don't plan on finding any in my area either tho. That said I hope to dig one this Weekend. lol

Great Find Man & I would thank the Neighbor either in writing or FTF, Sounds as if he/She was Rude.
Did you get the Mercury Dime there to?

I would send the Mr. Homeowner w/ precious lawn a Hallmark thank you card.... a warmly written and sappy one, with no mention of the find or the hobby.....completely anonymous....he be like and you be like
