To date I'm moved about half and stockpiled the soil for future use. Yesterday I was shoveling soil from the stockpile into a bucket for use in a garden. I dumped out one of many buckets of soil and could see a sliver of something shiny. I pulled it out and it was a Jefferson nickel. As likely is the case with most coin nuts, I'm incapable of picking a coin up off the ground without putting a loupe on it. I did so and to my amazement it's a 1981-D RPM#1! What are the odds!?!? I gave it a S & W bath and it's not a bad coin considering the sub(terranean) standard with which it was stored for the last ? years. A couple quickie images: Fun stuff. Happy collecting! E. J.
