    Results of a bored Dragoon soldier.......:cry:

    Me and my hunting buddy went back to our Dragoon Fort site yesterday that we have hammered to death. The Dragoons were at this site only from October 1842-April 1843 to keep settlers from forcing the Indians from their land. Two-thirds of the site was washed away by the river. We are down to...

    Only one coin today........but it's a Flying Eagle! ........then my headphones jack quit!

    Was also in a beanfield hunting this afternoon. Got about ten feet from the car and got a terrible signal ( If I wasn't in a field I would not have dug it!) Flipped over the dirt & saw the green disc........picked it up and rubbed the face & thought ........Oh Crap, it's Lincoln's head! Flipped...

    Well, I finally got out in the fields a couple of times this week. Slim pickings as they drilled the beans in with absolutely NO tilling!
