I'll give you a special price for being with the "Forum" and a choice of shipping fees (media or Priority). If you're hitting the sites in Virginia, that's where I'm from until a year ago. Centreville and Fairfax Station were especially good to us. Virginia is still the hottest place to dig for Civil War period pieces! _____________________________ Mike Russell Author of: The Collector's Guide to Civil War Period Bottles and Jars -- Third Edition (in reply to treasure rat) Post #: 5
