i was metal detecting this morning on the beach (thought it might be good to try after the 4th) and i found this quarter:
it's obviously corroded...but, it weighs 5.67 grams. hmmm.
i did not clean it...i just pulled it out of the sand.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
