That's messed up! I had a similar incident. Was working a vacant lot in a nearby town. A nosy neighbor comes by and says he's into metal detecting. Soon after I popped a draped bust large cent out of the yard. He ended up coming over with a loupe and plenty of saliva
Damn near wiped all the detail right off! He tried telling me it was a liberty cap, but I knew it was a draped. Ahhh memories, even had a fellow forum member with me at the time, I think he was more disturbed than me, and it was MY coin
great hunt! I would definitely hit that spot again. Congrats BT!
