Hello Friends,
For years and years I've read about (voraciously), lived and breathed finding a cache of coins in the dirt. Spent a small fortune on equipment including a 2-box detector and spent some lonely days sweating out kayak trips to some local uninhabited "hot" treasure islands here in the bay area. And countless other sites. In short, I've paid my dues, but they truly have not paid me back --- yet....
Anyway, my purpose for posting was a small cache of coins I found a couple weeks back at a local garage sale. There were 24 mostly foreign coins in a ziploc bag highlights include; a replica 1854 'gold' double eagle, a 1929 mercury dime in (G)ood (low grade shape), a hexagonal shaped peso from the '70s, a small coin from Panama and a token for the "Bellair Causeway" token (date unknown) from across the bridge in Pinellas County. Anyway, no haggling was involved as the bag of coins was on a table marked .50 cents.... Don't know that much about coins, but I think the 1929 mercury dime has a value that easily covers my investment. I guess the old treasure adage is true --- anything can be anywhere and I'd like to add --- at any price!
