A cheap find,a real good felling

billn1956 · Jan 18, 2010

Went out for a couple of hours today and found a 1.72 in clad and one of those little badges you can have made at the fair.Got home and cleaned it up and found the last name in the phone book and called to see if they knew the man. Well it was his brother and he told me the man had passed a few years ago and why did i want him? Told him about the badge and he was really happy to talk about the memories, we talked a good 30 minutes and then he said that the mans daughter would really be happy to get that. So i am going to take it to him Thursday so that it can go to the mans daughter.It feels better then I think finding a gold dollar would feel. I Hope i can compare the feelings some day. Hope everyone will take the time and trouble to do this type of thing when they get a chance. HH

Yeah for sure you did the right thing ...THIS is one of the joys of the hobby, re-uniting lost items with the people.

I found an army dogtag and was rebuffed by the widow and then out of the blue she contacts me a year later. She's in her late 80's and I'm so glad it turned out good.
