favourite find ever

[Johnny Cache]

Everybody must have one favourite thing they've found in their detecting career. I'm just wondering what single item, be it a coin, relic or piece of jewelry is the one "centrepiece" in everybody's collection of detecting finds? My all time favourite find so far is the 1902 barber half.

A number of years ago I was detecting in a park, here in the Midwest, and popped up this 1916D mercury dime in the outfield of the ball diamond. At that time, I didn't know enough about caring for silver coins so I decided to clean it with simichrome polish. Also, notice the two nicks I made with my poker. What a dummy!!! As you can notice, it is still a 1916D and has good detail. A couple of years later I popped up another 1916D in AG condition in the front yard of a house. I didn't post a picture of that one..
