After getting complacent in digging dozens of memorials among thousands of targets, this lady was a surprise in the hole. Tough digging in a dry, weedy, trashy-a$$ empty lot...oops, nice scar across your face, my bad. I feel deflated...get it? deflated:laughing7:

Sometimes you can dig hundreds of targets very carefully and have junk; until you get impatient and stab one.
Been there. Might have to try it again when ground thaws to up the odds of an old coin....:laughing7:

Well, that's what one gets when digging with a pick-axe. ;)

Actually, it can serve a purpose to make that mistake once in a while. It reminds us that the find of lifetime "can" be in the VERY next hole we dig! So, we need to keep that in mind during EVERY single dig!

It's still a VERY nice find and shhhhh, we won't tell anyone. :)

Like they say; "Chicks dig scars". Lol. And, well honestly, I kinda like all three in that statement. Either way, it's still an awesome coin and anyone who hits the fields with weapons of mass detection would be proud to own it. Congrats...
