CONGRATULATIONS BRYCE! I'm glad your hunt with " The Godfather" turned out so well. I know you hunt very hard, and now the reward, with a rare coin, IS YOURS. I can't think of anyone more deserving than you. My BANNER vote is in. The mods better give you this! Your T-Net Friend........ Hogge

Thanks Hogge. I hope it makes the banner. I know it nearly caused me to need a change of shorts

Totally fantastic Bryce. I almost had a heart attack for you when Nick called me....You are DA MAN..and Congratulations..most awesome find. Gotta be a banner for sure.

Thanks SC. When Nick handed me the phone...and you told me what it was worth....I literally had to crouch down to keep from passing out

real cool find

Thanks whitesPA

Awesome story, man! Like you seem to be implying, the adventure and time spent with your friends made the trip as worthwhile as the cool finds themselves. Thanks for sharing this, great stuff!

Thanks Epsilon. You are 100% correct. The friends and fun are worth more than the finds made. Seeing the Yeti eating berries was worth the price of admission alone

 

[beetle662]

Awesome! Great story and an even better find! Once in a lifetime no doubt!

Congrats! Well deserved!

WTG Bryce. Has your heart rate slowed down as of yet? Congrats on one awesome find.

 

[drodda777]

Bryce,

Another great post and another great find by the master. Does not surprise me in the least that you would find a coin of this stature. IF they are there to find I think you are the one who can sniff them out.

I envy and hate you all at the same time!

Keep em coming,

Dave

Sweet find and if this isn't a BANNER coin, then there shouldn't be a Banner!! Congrats on the "Big Daddy" of Mercs!!

 

[coltdavis]

[Nate in Ohio]

Wow that's amazing, congrats on the rare dime! It personally looks much more like an AG to me but that's besides the point. You scored big! 8) Think you might sell it? Congrats to you again.
