Hey Locust,

Fantastic find Gary......I'm a BIG fan of construction zones, but I have yet to find my first gold coin.

I woke up to 10 inches of new snow this morning and I'm sure you have about the same, if not more. It looks like it will be a while before we get back out.

What part of the country are you from? (Still trying to figure who's from where on here.)

I used to visit Charleston a lot until my GF moved to WI (after a stopover in Collinsville). Pretty country for flatland.
