Coin Found in Potato Field sells for $430,000
A rare colonial 1652 Massachusetts silver coin found by an East Hampton, N.Y., woman in an old potato field almost 23 years ago has been sold for more than $430,000 in Baltimore, Md.
The woman who found the coin, Lillian King, sold it in 1992 for $35,200.
The 1652 New England sixpence had been in a private collection for 21 years and was expected to sell for $100,000.
The coin was commissioned by the Massachusetts Bay Colony and is one of only eight known to exist. Other examples are owned by institutions such as the American Numismatic Society and the British Museum.

American Digger Magazine Sues Spike TV Over American Digger Show
According
to The Wrap (http://www.thewrap.com/ , Spike TV and
parent company Viacom are being sued in federal court by Greybird Publishing.
The company claims Spike and Viacom are using the magazine's trademark without
authorization and the use of the name is hurting the magazine's reputation.According
to The Hollywood Reporter, Grady "Butch" Holcombe and his wife Anita
Holcombe, the publishers of "American Digger," claim that they
started receiving calls, emails and "unfavorable comments on hobbyist forums
from subscribers ... alarmed by the show's highly inflammatory and negative
depiction of their hobby and the risks the show posed for the ability of
hobbyists to continue their metal detecting activities"
After
the show premiered, Ric Savage, the former pro-wrestler turned "American
Digger" reality star, was ousted
from his position as a columnist at "American Digger" the magazine.
The
publishers are demanding that the defendants be stopped from using
"American Digger" and destroy all video and iterms bearing the mark.
Greybird is also asking for damages and Viacoms profits.
