You don't need a bath. Go to bed dirty and smelly just like the Colonial guys who lost those relics. I hope your wife understands that you are just trying to live the Colonial life.

My wife says that she doesn't mind the dirt and smell, but the creepy crawlies have to go!

Fantastic find! That is an amazing coin and the Eden House story just makes it that much more intriguing. Thats what I love about this hobby!

Does your computer have a macro mode? It is usually a tulip icon.

I guess I will have to rethink my thoughts on copper type coins found the way I go at it.(on the river)Ones in the past have been badly worn,but can be found in somewhat good condition it appears.

Re: My Oldest Coin Yet!!!!!!

Change your title to 'Oldest Token Yet - 1669'.

This deserves more attention & the banner ! This has a great tale to tell, you have yet to say if you plan to share it with the Archies?

Re: My Oldest Coin Yet!!!!!!

That is an amazing find. WTG. I would have been doing quite a dance to find that. By the way, I live up in the New Bern area, You need any help hunting that spot?

I do know a archaeologist that is head of those working on the Queen Ann's Revenge.He has seemed like a nice enough guy in the past to talk with.If I can catch him in at the Maritime Museum here.I will see what he says!
