Man you wont beleive what i was offered for that coin.Its safely put away.I am sick to death of the thing for the time being as i am still bombarded with emails every day asking to sell.Its up for the find of the year ,results will only be out towards the end of the year but there a article about it in next months Searcher magazine so i suppose the emails will flood in again

Great find Simon! Just love the pics of your digs...thanks! HH, Hank :grin:
 
I would think it is MXT,not sure if i got it upside down.It could be MF ME ,I know what MF stands for but im not sure if that saying was around back in the 1800,s
