Wow bet their hooked now hope they can keep it freakin cool find
 

‘Fortunate if Favoured’. is a good one!
Our 50th anniversary is this month, and I can use the quote,
and let it speak for itself - not my own...! :laughing7:
 

I can say I would love to go there. I need to go to the bank and get in my safety deposit box, and send a pic of the gold wedding band I found with a Civil War soldiers initials, along with his new bride, and 1861 as a date on it. It’s the first solid gold ring I’ve found from the civil war. Others I’ve found haven’t turned out so fairly in the soil, and the pretty metal it once was is now a dull rough copper look, possibly zinc
