		My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

The 70's/80's detectorist's left this much lying around, it surely can be said, we wont all get it all in our lifetime either... which is good in a way, future generations of hobbyists will enjoy digging up 200+ year old coins there one day ;) Hey Drunk, how far away are u from uploading ya 1st video with the gopro?
