Re: FIND OF A LIFETIME!!!! BANNER!!!!!

That is one sweet find and i think it should be on the banner. I have been hunting for
10 years and have yet to find a Seated half. Congratulations young man, you have
a great detecting future ahead of you.
 
Re: FIND OF A LIFETIME!!!! BANNER!!!!!

Way to go there young man. I have many years on you and can only wish that I got into this hobby at your age. This can turn into a life long addiction/hobby. You may stop and start when you want and there will still be goodies to be found.

What you found is a treasure and will only become more valuable as time moves along. Enjoy this hobby and HappyHunting Happy Harry
