    Just think what an exciting find that would be today... That is the type of find that cache hunters dream of... Of course, when we dream of such things, they are usually gold coins... :D;) ...Well, dream big I say.... :) Cheers, RickO

    Must be the 125 years of compound interest that makes those silver half dollars dollars today!
