Bart,

Good job on the clean ups. Like how there's still some toned sections around the details adds a nice touch!

Agreed.... great job... and they are damn great looking coins... that last one WILL BE your best... but i am sure you have realized this by now.

YES the pillar is awesome... but coin wise... your last baby has the "it factor".

Each now cleaned...

can be bezeled and cherished.

Interesting video on permaculture in India.

Thanks for the post up of the video Bill. It's a refreshing take on todays world of agri.
I really love Jack Fruit, it was a discovery when we got to Fiji and we'd see these gigantic knobbly looking fruit growing out of the trunk of these huge trees.
The segments part reminded me of a over larked segment of a cow/horse molar shape.
Tasty tasty they are-the other thing I remember is bread fruit the local women made. Doing their National Holiday we were watching the locals play football, and I had my very first piece-well no moderation/control here-I want to buy a whole cake.
The laughter from the women could be heard over the festivities-crazy man!
Well when they presented the cake for me to purchase I cried out in as it was 2'X 4' in size!
I still bought a huge portion of the cake-still I was one crazy dude to them.

As of late I've really taken a shine to Spanish/colonial silver. I got Bill Dancy's "Discovering Colonial Artifacts of Virginia" book, and have been looking at all the cobs and reales... I almost bought a reale last night. Not yet.

Mornin all!

No cobs found shoveling snow today ,yet ,so far....

Dropped a wrench repeatedly the other day working on the plow truck.
Should have been in my coat pocket when I returned other tools to the tool box , but it seemed to have escaped.
Then I plowed over the area.
So , I have a site to detect this spring for the glint of silver....L.o.l..

Jim,

I remember during my vacations to Barbados eating what I thought were mashed potatoes. I mentioned to the waitress they tasted different than those back home and had a yellow tint. She laughed and told me it was breadfruit.

If memory serves me correctly the breadfruit trees were originally brought to the Caribbean from the South Pacific islands.

See how you are?

The only reale I have was won in a contest sponsored by a detectorist in Ohio and it's milled. Still a beautiful coin in my eyes at least.

Notice how there's a lot of toning in the devices just the way I like it, has a nice aged look to it.

Off to work. Later.

That's a beauty!

Rusty,

Glad you got your power back are the roads manageable yet or still treacherous?

It depends. Ice is becoming less of a worry, but trees are still down everywhere.

Two people have died because they were without power here. Trees are falling on folks homes, entire sections of forest gone, it's a mess.

So maybe I'll clean one up now !!

Beautiful clean up BB. Care to share your process? That pillar dollar came out gorgeous, definitely the nicest one I've ever seen from the 1733 fleet.

If someone wants to try their hand and making some polish pierogies.

I've tried these before, and they were very good! My Grandma lives next to the Mrs. T's perogie factory, and they're a big deal up there. I can usually eat 10+ in a single sitting. :P

In this world of the internet the world reads up on a product/company. One might think that it's a waste of time to post up a review but here is "Olive branch reach out"

Jim I tried and left you a message a year ago when we read your review, but didn't hear back from you.

"We don't voice mail" (Bald face lier)

How can we resolve this negative review?

"Meet be closer to half way"

Then I get an email requesting I delete my review post entirely before he compensates me.

I deleted the review (copy/paste to folder)

Another call asking me to take down my deleted message.

"Deleted review as per the agreement of compensation from the company"

Another phone call "I can't sign off on this Jim-come on work with me.

OK (Gee what a person has to go through to get $500.00)

So the next time you are justified in a less than happy product/company write an honest/fact review-folks do notice.

In the original out of the blue call this morning the VP did state folks were liking the reviews of the company "Except moi" So it must of stung.

Except they ghosted a company where we first saw the product.
"Oh we're great friends with them and will compensate them for this order/but it's a lot easier for us to work through the main store." (double bald face )

I said the $$$ will buy a shin dig of lobster/scallops for the ghosted party.
