Nice Oldy...

Just found this thread. Very cool find right there dude! Believe it or not, my detecting buddy Jessy pulled one of those out of the ground right in front of me yesterday. I Love that beautiful green patina on these oldies. A really beautiful thing to behold, I tell ya, coming out of the soil like that. Hope you let it soak in olive oil for awhile. Then the toned patina, glows like something precious and rare, which, to me, it is. Happy dig'n friend.lb
