Sometimes, this hobby just plain is crazy.

Final pics of a beautiful lady.

The plan today was to run a few errands, fuel the car and then go to
clad city for some fun walking around and picking up more battery fund.

So, whilst running the last errand, "I was on my way back to the car". I passed by the coinstar just to check
as per usual. This is what I found in the tray:



LOL



To boot! This was in among them.

I couldn't believe it! LOL
When I got back to the car, I said, a pocket full of clad, a Canadian penny, AND a SILVER!!!
I have no need to go to clad city. Already got more than I bargained for there! So, what to do?

I decided that since I already had the battery fund contribution and even a silver! I'm already
good for the day. Still, I wanted to do a lil digging. I went to the mansion for a leisurely walk and
to complete an already wonderful day.

One thing about this mansion. It now forces one to think hard where to try. So, I'm wandering around this particularly
trashy spot near where the old road used to be. I only get a few hits worth digging, between all the iron.

One is deep, short and read at about 78. If I milked the signal I could catch an 80 once in a while. I said, close enough for
govt work and got down to digging. Eight inches later I see this:




I said, huh??! But it was only 78!

This is what uncovered:






Now, I ask ya. Ain't that beautiful?!?!

Now, let's review:

Guess which one I choose?

"WOW! Even thru the dirt!"

Yeah Baby!!!!!!!You know it.!

Some very nice coins come out of hiding in this hobby. I might even turn another seated dime sometime.
But, one that comes from deep down and still looks like this one!? THAT, is a once in a lifetime! At
least to expect anymore would be a complete stretch. I'll be very surprised to find another coin of this age
and have it come out in this remarkable shape. Once, in a lifetime.

in all her glory:




She sure is beautiful.

I have learned to appreciate ones that have been buried for so long and still come up as beautiful as that one!
Man, so much detail! I can even see how it must've been a cold day when they snapped her pic.
