Chris and Jennifer, one selling, one looking to buy. Comeown!!! Mike

When I was still land surveying some years ago, I seem to recall there was a separate fee charged on the recording of property (land parcels) here in California, which was supposed to be use for the restoration of property (land) corners. I think the monies were to be used by the county surveyor/grandfathered engineer or to hire a private professional surveyor to restore property corners destroyed by government actions like, road building and maintenance, other construction. I believe this also included government land corners which may help the county or state in their administration of certain land issues. Lipca? Mike

Did anyone hear if there has been a winner. I had a pretty good story and would like to hear others. Mike

Wow, really great Chris. I'm sure you enjoyed this as much or more than the children. It puts a smile on my face. Mike

Hey Chris, sounds and looks like you folks had a great time. Good for you. Mike

Thanks for the wisdom on not cleaning old coins guys. I kind of suspected as much but wasn't sure. Mike

That's just a neat find Chris. Does a person clean up a coin like this? Mike

I came across a brand new Gold Bug 2 at a garage sale today. I have the guys name number if anyone is interested. He is asking $500.00 for it. Located here is Crescent City, Ca. Mike

Wow, great photos Chris. It sure sounds like a neat vacation. Was it a package type trip? Would you recommend it for most folks. Any other information you'd like to share would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Hey ya, happy birthday Chris hope you had a great day Mike

Nice coin. A while back I was considering buying one of the gold centennial Mercury dimes, but they're pretty proud of them. Truly a thing of beauty though. Mike

Nice finds guys. I always did like those mercury dimes. Mike

Cool find Chris. It looks kind of like a drop of molten lead. Perhaps melted lead dropped onto a surface which transferred a little of the surface pattern onto the "bottom" of the button. The "top" has a kind of expanding wave like circular character. It'd be neat to try to replicate. Mike

Dave, does this include a hand crank? Mike

Really nice find and 2' deep, wow. Mike
