    2 + 2 + 2

    It's been a very long time since last being able to swing my coil. crying01

    But Labor Day gave me a window to play for an hour and a half. Since our daughter was very under the weather these last three days, we were forced to humbly pass on all Labor Day invites.

    ... this left me with almost two hours of early morning free time on Monday. With the weather finally cool here in Iowa, I took full advantage.

    It was very refreshing to dust off my Minelab =

    2 tokens, 2 Indian Heads and 2 silver coins. <:


    Thank you for all of your great posts and finds here folks. These have been getting me through when I can't swing my coil.

    Joe.... you don't know how good it is to see the beautiful IHs and silver come out of the Iowa ground. I have missed your posts so much.

    What is with the tokens? The bigger one looks like it has holes clipped out of it. What kind of tokens are they?
