Thanks DoubleD. I will do my best. Good luck in 09.DD-777 said:Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us Bryce. Keep the faith my friend... 8)
I believe so too Mr.Jody. Thanks for responding.Mr.Jody said:Things happen for a reason! That dime was meant for you to find.
Thanks Doug. Sorry for the loss of your dad. Mine isn't well now either....so things next year might be a little nutty for me too. The "signs" you speak of are wonderful aren't they? What a nice feeling.ModernMiner said:Bryce,
A very nice & meaningful post buddy. I'm glad you finally got the nerve to post it.
That would be a #1 find in my book too.
My Dad was killed in Aug 07, and I still get signs that show me he is still with me. It's a wonderful feeling.
I'm sure you really miss your Mom, and I hope these signs from time to time will bring you some great joy.

Thanks Chris. I appreciate you coming to the "post moving defense"Colonial Copper Zeus said:I don't think this one will be moved Bryce. This is a trully awesome story that inspires hope. Oh and if by chance this does get moved may the responsible party suddenly get a gaggle of toads to infest their underpants for weeks on end. There...that should do it.

Thanks Bob.superficialbob said:CONGRATS, GREAT SILVER.
Thank you so much Mark. You are right...my mom was a very special person...and I truly hope I made her proud of me in some way. She truly did know how I felt when metal detecting...and that it helped me through some tough times. I know she led me to that dime...honestly. I plan on having a 14k bezel made for it so I can wear it on my chain. Take care my friend...and thank you for the kind response.mpostma said:Bryce,
I'm with Nick on this. Judging by the son she raised your mom had to be an incredible woman!
I'm sure she knows that slipping on those headphones and swinging that coil brings your mind some peace, and I cannot think of a better time for her to show that she will always be with you.
I'm wishing you the very best in the new year! I know your mom is smiling down, proud of you. I hope you have a chain on that merc and wear it.
Best of Luck, and peace of mind in 09 my friend!
Mark
Thanks geo. I feel the same way....and am sure she was letting me know all would be okay. I will definately have it surrounded in gold to wear on a chain.geo4472 said:sorry for your loss.that truly is a great find i think she was reaching out to you to say she'll be there always.i would do as others suggested wear on a necklace
Thanks Double D. I have gotten teary-eyed a few times while typing all of these responses. Cherish your parents while you still have them my friend. The dime will be around my neck before longdaytondigger said:You left me teary-eyed buddy, I don't want to think about losing my parent(s). I think I'd consider wearing that one on a necklace or in a ring. Nice story and have a good year.

Thanks Mental Granny. I appreciate your support...and thanks for the prayersMental Granny said:silverfreak 1st off I am so sorry for your loss you and your family are in my prayers!
Then what a very cool find, and even more so for where and when you found it! I know it does have even more special meaning to you for that alone.
Please keep this post here it is right where it should be.
Wes...thanks for responding. I'm sorry you lost your mom last year. You definatelyu know what I feel like right now...and the day before...and last week...etc. it is an up and down ride. I do know mom is always with me now though.JUNKYARD DOG said:Hello my friend, I lost my Mom last March and I know she is looking down on me everyday, they will never stop showing us how much they love us. Find peace in your heart. I wish you and yours the very best. Wes
Thanks for responding GOLDandSilver. Thanks for sharing your personal story with me as well. That is neat...and I'm glad it brings you comfort. I don't think it is ever going to get any easier for me...but I know mom will always be watching me from up above.GOLDandSilver said:That's a wonderful story, thanks for posting it. It's also good to see I am not the only one.
Ever since my beloved papa passed away he's been leaving me "pennies from heaven"...if I am having the worst day ever it is inevitable that I will think of him and what he'd say to me...and I find a penny, even if I've just stepped in that spot moments before. AND, when I am struggling with a difficult decision I'll find a penny..and if it's heads up, it's a good idea, tails up, I pass on it He was a very precious person to me and it gives me great comfort each and every time I am having a bad day, without fail I find a penny from heaven!
Thanks Jimbob. I appreciate your response.jimbob450 said:Very nice and touching post. Jimbob

Thanks PJ....and you are more than welcome. It means a lot to me to know I have so many great friends here. We may never meet in person...but I truly thank you for the kind words...and thoughts of my mom. Take care friend.PJ in WI said:Bryce. I have been reading your posts for about a year now and have asked you for help in the past. You were always punctual and very helpful. I thank you for that. Well not knowing you and reading your very personal story about your Mom tells me a lot about you as well as your Mom. She obviously was a great Mom because she sure raised one hell of a kid. Hang in there Bryce and she will guide to many more amazing finds. PJ
