Way to go Kermit :thumbsup: Excellent recoveries!

For the past couple of years, it seems you were always the person that
was filming some of OUR best recoveries. . . it was really cool to see
YOU making this outstanding recovery :) Congrat's on that half man!

Phantasmic finds, Kermit!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :icon_king:

I'm glad you got some of the goods!

What's with all these shallow lurkers? Surface large cents, surface barber halves...

I'm thinking about breaking out the Bounty Hunter and using a garden rake to dig! ;D

Congrats on the first!!! :wink:

OK now that is just SICK!
I think all the fire engine sounds in the background of the video were because that spot was so freekin HOT!
Man o man was there a Leprechaun or a rainbow or something?
Great finds. Although you had me cringing the way you were rubbing that V nickel.
I'm thinking to myself while watching it - he's gonna rub the face right off that coin! LOL

Big congrats !
