Thanks Grandpa!

So as I was gettting ready to take my new MD out and see if I could teach myself the ropes; I opened my nightstand drawer and saw a bag from my wifes grandfather. He passed away like 6 months ago but back in the day he was a huge relic hunter. I guess when your family owned most of the land around the Cold Harbour battle site in VA you are destined to bee, right. So as I am staring at this bag wondering when he gave it to me i notice a coin. So after a little research I find out that it is a Silver coin of Bohemond VII of Antioch and Tripoli.

That is awesome friend! That is considered a "Crusader Coin". I googled it.

I am hoping to find someone in the area that needs a partner and does not mind teaching someone the ropes.
