where did I lose it, was it by the pig pen, or the horse corral, or maybe down by the rock fence where the old Hickory tree fell last night in the storm, or maybe where I slipped and fell coming up the path. What am I going to do if I can't find it, am I going to have to sell one of the pigs or maybe butcher one early, that will help me with the feed. I don't know how I'm going to tell the wife I don't have the money to buy the seed for the garden, I guess I'll go look one more time hopefully it will be found one of these days.
I am sure the farmer never thought that when he lost his large cent in 1845 that a gentleman by the name of Bob Drake swinging a metal detector in 2015 would find it. Bob gave to me as a gift that very 1845 large cent, and my mind hasn't stopped wondering what the person was like, what was their lifestyle, did he have a big family, how long did he live, did the family always lived there or did they move away, these are the many questions that me and my family have been wondering ever sense receiving this generous gift. THANK YOU BOB DRAKE for the great gift, and the paydirt, and the adventure of imagination.( I know this probably sounds corny but the adventure that your mind goes on whether it's a fantastic coin, or a ax head, or a old horse shoe, the adventure that you go on is priceless)
