Great story Lee and I like his statement, which is oh so true for most of us - “We don’t do it for the money, we do it for the history, and the excitement that you never know exactly what you might find.”

Yes, nice story - could probably work it out but the article doesn't actually identify the coin (other than denarii of civil war period) unless I missed something,
