These pics are from my Dad(aka hikeinmts). I am resizing them for him(hope it works). This set of pics are coming to you from South Korea, which is where he lives. I've been to several sites with him and can attest to the strength and endurance training that usually goes into getting to these sites. Takes a lot of research, but ultimately you have to hike to the site to determine if it's there. Have had some really beautiful experiences while out hunting coins with Dad(from artifacts recovered, and beautiful scenery, to just spending quality time with him). He WILL hike your legs off(at least they'll feel like they are falling off by the end of the hunt :tongue3:) Hope you enjoy.

Ok, first pic is some coins come straight from the ground. Second and third pics are of an old Bhuddist Monastery about 800 years old. Last pic is a possible coin site.

I will try to get more detailed pictures of the coins I am finding......thanks Mike, for letting me run them through you.
Last couple of years, I have found a few $1,000. coins. Sold one at auction last month, but still have the most exciting
coin. Will try to get that off to Mike shortly.
The one picture isn't a Buddhist monastry. It is an old farm house that has been converted to a religious shrine
type of thing. It is close to several sites that have produced some nice coins over the years.

Fantastic! Yes your dad is a hiking machine and I was astounded how he found that coin site him and I hunted . He can read those Korean hills like a book and go straight up the side of a mountain like a tank. I was very impressed and worn out after our hunt a year or so ago. I had a blast. :icon_thumright:.
