    Revisited an old friend.

    Was on the way home from work, and it was so nice out, that I had to call my wife and tell/ask about MD'n. Had no new place in mind, so I thought I would go to a place where i had been over maybe 5 times. A minute in and i get a 33, and a sweet sound that says good stuff. Well, dug the plug...

    :super: FIRST SEATED COINS!

    Finally, a seated coin. Me and F75Tom did some research and found where the old Pottawatomie, IA county fairgrounds were from the 1870's to 1900, and hit it up on Saturday. It was now a corn field, and it was about 22 acres, so we had alot of ground to cover. Anyway, Tom went one way, and I...

    Hello brothers! I bid you good tidings. Once again F75Tom and I were out and about. You know, we probably shouldn't call him F75Tom anymore, but HalfTom. We were out the other night in the yard where he found the 2 barber halfs, and lo and behold, he pulls out another half, but this time a...
