Aaron,
it was a cache found on my lunchhour from work....a construction site where the city had bought 19 houses to tear down to make room for elderly apts. Six $20 double eagles; 1852, 1878s, 1880s, 1890s, 1891s, 1899 and a 1886s $5 half eagle.....all XF except the 1899 was AU.....1857 flying eagle penny was first coin I found at the site....
during the summer I jewelry hunt in the water with a fisher 1280, nine gold rings so far this year, dream about affording an excalibur.....building the TTT because I hunt fur trade artifacts from frost out in spring to freeze-up in fall in some remote areas in WI/MN/MI and it gets cooold............
