    The Crazy Yard, 20 years ago, and silver today

    I hate to say it, but I hit the back end of what is my "crazy yard" ,possibly 1969, 1970, and found the tin soldiers and a new 64 Kennedy half.. I was using an O'Hara Gold O Meter, which was the ultimate souped up T-20 Fisher. Designed and built in Florida, it would not work at 50 degrees or...
