    Despite the fact that I am/will be swimming in them, you still got me for a moment.

    Is that a cracked planchet parking lot error?

    I actually do work for a B&M so the probability would be slightly higher for one to be dropped out there. :D

    No gold in the parking lots around these parts but we do have steel bronze in the sidewalks.

    I dunno about Vegas itself, but we've got a decent amount of color today here in south Henderson / Sloan. Grass is dead, though. Oh wait...

    Saw a rainbow outside a coin shop, recently. Made me think of Morgan dollars. This thread reminded me of that day.

    Thanks Debbie Downer for reminding me that I have to do leaves tomorrow. I have a 40 bag yard. The nice thing is our road crew empties the brown paper leaf bags and returns them. They last 3 years as long as I let them dry and refold them. The sooner I get done, I can get back to my coins. Peace Roy

    Nice find. Let me tell you my friend, I have the money tree! It is loaded with golden maples, and it's in my front yard... Make a few phone calls, hook us up, and I'll split half the proceeds with you for this nice little cache! At any rate- it will save me lower back pain if you can unload it...

    Beautiful!


    Beautiful foliage!
