Also found an Alcoholics Anonymous medallion. I guess someone had enough of sobriety and threw it away. Anyhow, that's all I got time for........ I gotta get me a drink!

Hi All, Well it's been a year since my last hunt....... After this mornings magnificent triumph over the rest of the rugby world I snuck in a two hour hunt at the park. I found my oldest coin to date, an 1816 GB shilling George 111. I missed out on the 200 year mark by one year! Anyhow after this mornin' I think I have the bug again.

Maybe I should put them in a terracotta pot and bury them somewhere to become a future hoard. that would be a pretty solid tone on the machine!
