Mine are:

2. A coin, any coin, from 1600 to 1620 on my land I own land that was part of a 1610 land grant that includes the top of a hill over looking a harbor.

3. A pirate cache. There where pirates based north and south of my land. Peter Easton was based 15 miles away. and a lot of activity took place in the surrounding bays.

So far my oldest artifact dates from 1750-1775, a shoe buckle.

Mine is pretty straight forward. Anything with enough value to allow me to retire and live out my days swinging. Umm....did that come out right???? But if you force me to name them...

1. Templeton Reid Gold coin, preferably a denomination that does not exist in any private collections.
2. A "CSA" belt plate.
3. Let's see... How bout a 1870s 3 dollar gold piece? If not, I guess I would settle for a 1870s silver dollar....
