Nope - all I got was a "thanks" for the invite!
I wouldn't have been so PO'ed if it weren't for 3 things (cuz really I don't begrudge anyone for finding stuff) and love to see everyone dig something cool
but
1: that was his 3rd (yes third) silver dollar in his diggin career
2: it was a site I worked my butt off to find and secure for diggin and should have hit before taking anyone else!
3: at that time I had never dug a silver dollar to date NOR any CC coin and still haven't dug a silver dollar in all these yrs of diggin (a good 30 yrs now)
I just dug my 1st CC seated coin this past spring at that picnic grove = still lookin for that "silver dollar" (and a Reale too)!
It's funny the way things work, Wayne. My first seated ever, about 7 or 8 years ago, was a Carson City. It didn't know the signifigance of the mint mark at that time, though. A CC seated is a pretty tough nut to crack, especially on the east coast...but it came easy. My reals? They came fairly easy too, and those are tough suckers to find. However...
A simple barber half, took 10 years. Yes, it's a half, and those are tough to find nowadays, but, still, we're not talking an ultra rare coin by any stretch, yet it took me almost a decade.
Maybe I should only go after the 1700 & 1800 stuff. It'll probably be easier for me to find
