I have always respected you JC, now I have more respect for you. I nominate for an honorable mention. Thanks for going above and beyond what was expected. I bet you were on cloud nine when you saw her reaction, Kudos to you.

Aww shucks Loco, I really appreciate that.

Thanks Diggindude, glad you enjoyed

Honorable Mention for sure! Congrats on believing in the right thing to do!

Thanks Deep!

Good for you-most folks would not have done that, but I bet the look on her face when you handed it to her was priceless. Honorable Mention for sure!

Yes it was nice to see her so happy. Thanks very much DND

That's a real nice thing to do J. I give away a lot of my finds as well. For me it feels better than keeping them if it's for the right people and reasons. I do miss some of the pieces because I know I'll never dig another, but I also smile when I think of the places my finds now live, and the people that it makes smile.

Great job buddy

I agree with you. It really sweetens the deal when the receiver genuinely appreciates the item.

I have dug up many cool things, but this cufflink is her ONLY cool dug up thing!

I agree with your "temporary custodian" comment. Now the find will remain where it's appreciated long after I'm gone. Thanks!
