Silver Horse Medal...

Howdy--

My buddy Kenneth and I spotted a vacant house with a For Rent sign on it. I talked to the owner of the house and he invited us to hunt his yard which we gladly did. We swung the coils there for a while and dug a five Wheat Cents and clad. Then we went to a site that we had previously hunted 7 or 8 times. After a couple of days of heavy rain I thought that we might dig a few more goodies there. I was right. I got a few more Wheat cents, the oldest a 1923-S, a 1942-D Merc, a small Eagle button, 4 old marbles, a Mexican 50 Centavos, a copper ring and a neat sterling silver horse medal. It was good to swing the coil after a week of jury duty on an aggravated sexual assault of a disabled person case. Texas justice: we gave him 20 years! Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!

20 years was the maximum sentence for his offense. We would have GLADLY given him another 20 but our hands were tied. Your case must have taken a toll on you and the others in the jury. I can imagine the disturbing testimony that you had to witness. I too am thankful for this wonderful hobby. As a Hospice volunteer for the last 11 years, I frequently need to swing the coil to decompress - it's my therapy. Best of luck and...
