That one is about a hundred times better than the one my middle daughter has. She loves elephants, I love coins so we kind of met in the middle. Her other "white" elephants far out weigh the value of the modest coin collection we have found together, though she does keep looking for coins with elephants on them every time we visit a shop together...
Not as bad as my baby though, she has a thing for dragons. OUCH!!! I try hard to guide her away from Chinese and bullion displays because with those green eyes of hers I would be in the poor house real quick if not held in check!
We will NOT get into my oldest girls collecting habits, let's say they are more of Storks and Madmarty's collecting interests (nothing wrong there, BTW). But most of her collection of coins and medals should not be posted on a PG site (though I love her for following my coin/medal collecting interests even if not my theme)... The best part though is she is self sufficient, she buys her own shocking coins these days...
I love my girls, 3 for 3 on coin collecting including a 26 year old who still adds to her collection on a regular basis without prodding on my part... I am a happy camper!

1836 Capped Liberty dime. My oldest US detecting find so far. I dig almost every signal I get for the most part. Go figure...
