Our 50th anniversary is this month, and I can use the quote,
and let it speak for itself - not my own...! :laughing7:

I can say I would love to go there. I need to go to the bank and get in my safety deposit box, and send a pic of the gold wedding band I found with a Civil War soldiers initials, along with his new bride, and 1861 as a date on it. Itā€™s the first solid gold ring Iā€™ve found from the civil war. Others Iā€™ve found havenā€™t turned out so fairly in the soil, and the pretty metal it once was is now a dull rough copper look, possibly zinc
