What excitement, Bart can surly sniff out a coin he was 10 feet from me and bam another coin. Hats off to Bart he was doing the happy treasure hunters dance. That is top of the food chain stuff right there a lot of hard work goes into finding any kind of treasure or items. hes got what it takes high energy and the know how of how it all works and putting that plan to work. Congratulations hope to see you there soon

3rd time is a charm smokey.....got 2 1733 pillar and globes now, and 1 1732 !! Hard to believe they live here under US1 !! chuck Mitchell said he had a piece of info that said 960 pillar dollars were here.....all I know is at least some are right where he thought. His dieing words to me were make sure your on site if they ever dig deep or redo US1 !! He was a well known treasure hunter and he was oh so right !!

Man surely we can make an exception for this? Bart slammed it outta the park and this is the stuff the banner was made for! If not rules are rules I guess.

Man, Congratulations. I hope you can make the most of this in the short time you have and get a chance at the fill piles as well.
So this was original fill for the road and railway?
I'd love to hear some more about "Shaggy Cannon", he sounds like a legend.
