    That's a nice find. It took me forever to find my first IH and I still have only one.

    Continued good hunting and I hope that's the first of many more.

    Thank you very much! I've still got to finish cleaning it up to find out what shape the reverse is in. I've been super busy tho and have not even got my detector out of the closet this week. >{ >{
