Default Digs I was wondering when you would....
crawl out from what ever rock you live under Maybe you should hunt with us??? Because you don't seem to be smart enough to find good stuff off our beaches yourself....Me,Bob,Metaldig a.k.a Marc,James,Moe,Mike G,Scott, put it the time and know where to hunt and when....thats why we will always get these kind of finds...and you'll just be taking cheap shots at us like a coward......your a college professor???? I find that very hard to belive happy hunting 'Digs'

What is in the future for this coin? Do you have any plans to clean it or leave it the way it is? Just curious! I do not know what I would do.......
