Pink, of course, figured it out.\u00a0 The damn thing really is from 1860.\u00a0 Bummer.\u00a0 Too bad it ain’t a seated.\u00a0 Its sort of like finding a 2 cent piece,. except that it isn’t.<\/p>\n

My German was a bit off; instead of $91 dollars, the front really says 1\/90th of a dollar.\u00a0 I was close, sort of (I should have been able to figure that out last night; I just didn’t.\u00a0 Oh well).\u00a0 It seems they used some sort of Sumerian number system where there were 360 pennies to a dollar, so this thing is 4\/360th of a dollar.\u00a0 Who knew?\u00a0 Its also from Prussia, not Germany proper, and since I spent a good part of my life living in an oddly named town around here called King of Prussia (which now is a disaster; don’t ever visit, especially since its my second best silver town :)), I guess I have a cosmic connection to this piece of foreign clad.\u00a0 Or, maybe not.<\/p>\n

Here is one of Pink’s links that describes this thing.<\/a>\u00a0 I guess some would think its cool.\u00a0 Maybe I should be one of them.<\/p>\n

So, today’s hunt, while I’m here, produced bupkis.\u00a0 Back to the recent site, to claim those 1-2 silvers in the graded area, and they just weren’t there.\u00a0 There ain’t nothing there anymore.\u00a0 Working grids into dead zones.\u00a0 Sounds fun.\u00a0 And it rained on top of that, not enough to make the ground wet, but enough to wonk out my machine, so I called it a day.<\/p>\n

I guess I need to close the site, despite covering only about 50% of the area.\u00a0 I think I’ve played it well, but who knows?\u00a0 I’m tired of fighting the mineralization, and will at least table the site for now, and look for greener pastures.\u00a0 I think I may also take a little break from detecting, given everything else that is going on.\u00a0 Next update will prolly be sometime next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
