Howdy All,
Last time out I captured the Queen. Today I've Capture your KING!!!   Ok what is it? Also if there was ever any confusion on a clean park I have the perfect example. 2 hours in a clean park, then 2 hours in a park not hit yet where I found the King. I love this hobby!  Thanks fer looking. Rick

Thx Good.
I googled and found this. 1/4 penny... lol A farthing (meaning fourth part) was a British coin worth one quarter of a penny and 1/960 of a pound sterling, slightly over a "mill" division in other currencies. Such coins were first minted in England in the 13th century, and continued to be used until 31 December 1960, when they ceased to be legal tender. Early farthings were silver - and surviving copies are rare because they were rarely stored; the first copper farthings were issued during the reign of King James I who gave a licence for minting to John Harrington. Licences were subsequently given out until after the Commonwealth when the Royal Mint resumed production in 1672. Still pricless in my treasure box =) Rick
