Heading out East!

[Ill Digger]

I've got the week off. So I'm heading out to Massachusetts / Connecticut area to hopefully meet up with some of the forum members from the area. If anyone wants to try and meet up that would be great!

Hint, hint ;) Dan, HEAVYMETALNUT, Drew, Al:lol:
Hope to meet a few of ya:beerbuddy:

Good luck! It sounds like it could be a great trip and exposure to areas with the kind of history we just don't have here in the Midwest. Hope you got some of those! Looking forward to the pics...:drool:

You Lucky Dog. I would give anything to hunt out east for a week.
Best of luck to you Tim. I'll be looking forward to lots of photos.

Yep that's what I'm hoping to do. Find some things that we just aren't gonna find at home in the Midwest.

About half way there. I stopped for lunch in a small town in NE Ohio. Convently there was nice town square right across the street! So had the pulled pork ans a couple cocktails. No silver. But did pluck 8 older wheats. Now, back on the road and start heading east....

Best wishes Tim! I hope you find some colonial shoe buckles, coins, and early buttons. HH, Dave.

The man gets a colonial tombac :clapping:, the hole was hit pretty hard too we had to move some distance to hit some period targets . Congrats Tim good luck today with Drew and I'll see you wednesday :thumbsup02:

[Full Metal Digger]

WTG Tim! I'm expecting some KG II's and III's from you also! LOL. Maybe some early silver too. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

[MangoAve]

Hmmm. Go to work, or hunt with Tim, whom I've yet to meet but took my direction on the NEL coil and is out this way, and Dan whom I haven't hunted yet this year...? Tough one. Lol. If so I am down. I do believe fb friends can see my #. Or fb pm is just as quick. If I can get a town I might be able to provide a nearby backup. I can't make any comments on your places (not that I would) bcuz they been great lately. But so I can put some effort forth on my part and as a just in case.

Me too Dave. Me too. Just finding the coins that Dan and Drew found today would've sent me home with my mission accomplished. :envious:

Congrats Tim good luck today with Drew and I'll see you wednesday :thumbsup02: Thanks again Dan. Both, for taking me out this morning, and for IDing my button for me.
Now I have 3 more buttons that need IDing.
I'm really curious about the little cuff button :drool:

[del]

some nice colonial examples Tim , the cuff one with the design (i'm not quite sure what it is on it ... a horn maybe?) might be newer if it is a two piece , i'll check them out Wednesday . if you got all them in just a couple of hours or less then it was a good spot and theres probably more around.

[aloldstuff]

Dan, would there be room for one more on Wednesday? If so, my hats in the ring.

Nice photos Tim, hope today we can get you that copper.

[del]

sure Al , just have to locate a suitable spot or spots now .

I know under any other circumstances you would be there.
If the circumstances were any different I would also be giving you all kinds of grief for not coming!!!![emoji38]
