Hey, dudes, well, I opened up my mailbox today and there it was: 1st class mail from Bob (Mirage). 
I was super thrilled, so while walking up the driveway, I didn't notice the large rock and happened to stumble over it and fall flat on my stomach. 
The mail went flying 
....thankfully, Bob sealed the Berg coins in a yella (yellow) envelope, so the coins were still safe. When I finally gathered all of the dropped mail, and checked myself for injuries, I sauntered into the house with an overly exaggerated "cool" strut. 8) Upon entering the kitchen, I threw the other mail onto the table and continued my cool gait into the living room. Seriously, dudes, I felt like a cool dude today. 
After opening the highly-treasured package, I noticed a note that said, "Dude, didn't know if you polish these so left the wilver pretty much as is." Thanks, Bob, and the wilver is purty.
After scrutinizing the dates with a mag. glass, most of the Wheats were 40s and 50s. I only got two 1927's. But, it sure was a thrill to hold a piece of history from the Berg. Thanks, dudes, for the contest.
***In my own fantasy mind, I pictured myself being recognized by Dan the Man at the podium during the Tnet yearly detecting awards, "AND...The dude that came in third place is....DOY!" I would walk up with a more exaggerated cool strut...because, you know, dudes, the ladies would be watching...and finally take my award...the Berg coins!
My speech would go as such, "Firstly, I would like to thank my uncle, Zeus, for introducing me to this great hobby. If it wasn't for this dude, my "being" would not exist in this AWESOME sport! Next, I would like to thank my brother, Zoy. The reason need not be stated...audible (hehehe). Ummm, who else? Let me think....the Lord for putting me on this great planet....my mommy and daddy for creating me....my metal detector for never letting me down....Paco for giving me hope, by saying, "Dude, you will find another Colonial!" If I don't stop my rant, I will be cut off, so, dudes, I just want to say one more word: WILVER!"
After the termination of my speech, I would then walk off the stage (with a tear in my eye). On the way back to my seat, I would be congratulated with hand shakes by J.D. in Missouri, Boobydoo, DFX-Gregg, Don in SJ, Marc, ModernMiner, Mirage, Nate in Ohio, Snuffy, and Prober.
