Okay I changed the title of the thread to make you all happy! ;D

Hey Everybody!

I was out with MikeinPA. and Sniper19612003 yesterday searching around a cellar hole and look what I found at about 4". Needless to say, I am still in shock. As best I can tell from brief research last night, it's worth at least $3K! If anybody has additional info to share, it would be greatly appreciated! Great way to start the season, eh?

HH,

Rick (Goalrush)
