Default A Find Of A Lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went relic hunting with my buddy Dale today. We hit a nice cleared site that gave up both union and confederate relics. After a few hours of hunting I got a nice signal that sounded like another bullet. Man was I surprised to see a thin silver coin in my dirt pile. At first I thought I had dug a spanish piece but after looking at it closely my heart skipped a few beats. I was looking at a 1792 half disme. This is the first coins minted by our nation. The words around the edge of the coin say Liberty Parent Of Science And Industry. Liberty and Parent are abbrieviated. I am still in shock! Thanks for looking!

Marc

Holy cow, Marc! You could probably get over $100,000 for that one! They are that rare, man!

How deep was it? I bet you were dancing like a little boy after that one.
