Patience, patience, meself;)

Too much effort has gone toward other exploits, stimulating thought on potential other USA folklore-internet-myths.

If you have clear evidence that a buck-called coin was actualy historically used in reference to the skin of a whitetail deer-that it is only of USA origin, not of the other part of the British fur trading colony of the time, (where the much-fur-trading HBC was actually centered), why not put forward yourself (meself) for consideration? When going back into local expressions centuaries ago, it is unlikely that evidence emerges overnight on mudcat - research takes time to mature, much like a good wine:)
