NewFoundland 20 Cent 1912
In my quest to discover coins from around the world. Stumbling upon the Newfoundland coins of the 1800's and early 1900's have sparked great interest. I find their simple, but striking design to be one of the more desirable coins minted. And one of my top tier coins to hunt for. However. I am not going to talk about them. Just post a couple pics. And, let the rest make sense as you read on.
I am not a Numismatist. Or a serious collector when it comes to grade. I like coins because they are in my opinion. The "Super Awesome" as are Ninjas to Robert Hamburger. The kid who coined the phrase. "By cool, I mean, totally sweet"! Coins, to me. Are totally sweet. Because they, literally have passed threw the hands of history itself.

I have a great love of history. And digging for relics. I do. But, in the last year. I have become a coin hunter. Not a day goes by I am not on the look out for the roundness. How this all started. Is an odd story. In fact. One might think I was bonkers if I was to go into great detail about it. And, I will probably go into it at some point down the ro-ad. And NOT in THIS introduction post.
I tend to write in metafiction.
So. For example. If you come across this page. And actually read it. Subscribe to it. And follow it. You will find. That, in what will surely become a blogging mess. I am writing and posting this stuff mainly for myself. Its my brain in cyberspace. Because my organic one, while operational. Is much like a fart. Information leaves with ease (1. but not without the use of extreme caution!) And naturally. Its a one way ticket, expulsion via anus. Information must be properly processed via my metaphorical "mouth". Half of which, I will quickly lose as an ear blistering metaphorical "belch".
So. With that wasted paragraph. And the slow reader's 10 minutes of time. In short. This site. Is a journal. As I discover, uncover and recover. I will post what I like. How I like, but not totally unlike Urban Archaeology. Except that. I will use this site. As my New Found Land in cyberspace to store information I can use down the road with whats in my head. To connect dots as I am in the field hunting. I have a droid phone. So. Dig it. Or don't. That is all she wrote.
Until next post.....
1. The use of extreme caution. In form of metaphorical farting.
Do not give away who farted!
In example. Get so excited you squirt your scooby doo's. See, fart art, skid marks. Poop. Busted!
Meaning. Don't go telling the world about your research. Otherwise. You are left with shit.
