    When I saw your title, I thought you hit it rich at one of your haul aways and you were going to take us all out for champagne. :)

    He wishes! Then again we wish! No wonder metal detecting is a popular hobby in the UK. Around here you'd find old nails, bottle caps, a few modern coins, etc. It was all broke farmers in the old days when it wasn't chez Native Americans. They didn't use much in the way of metal except the bits that were traded in.

    I think that's about the only one though, and it was West Coast where the gold fields were. Around here you'd be lucky to find railroad spikes and date nails.

    True plus, 1840s is hardly ancient. What gives the English coins their real value is, they are 1000 years old.
