Well Joe met me this morning, and we waited on Mike from Chicago to get here. He was running late so he decided to meet us at the hunt site. Joe and I met up with Greg and Shawano. Mike met us at the site.
Not long into the hunt Shawano got an 1888 Indian head! I got a wheat, then an 1890- Indian head, followed by a very cool WWI button in great shape about the size of a quarter. Then I got a neat little figure of St. Christopher. Joe dug a neat old car and Greg found one too (a fire truck) Then we broke for lunch and Shawano had to go to work. We started again, and I said I am going to get some silver. Well I got a wheat followed by a silver war nickel, then another wheat, then a 57 silver Rosie and another wheat!
Mike came by later with two mercs from the same hole! One of my last cool finds was a small gun like maybe Cracker Jack. Everyone found clad and junk, but we all got keepers!
Here are the guys having a water break! It was hot and humid today!
