    2nd IH Of The Season

    Got out for a bit yesterday to a few area's I've been wanting to hit.

    1st site had been hit hard but gave up the large flat button next to a tree, as well as this clip.

    On the way out got a nice hint & out popped the small button and then while cutting thru a pen I got a real good signal which turned out to be an nicely preserved 1887 IH. 100 years later I would be a junior in HS :laughing:

    Other than that nothing else really surfaced but man were the ticks out there in force. I had walked thru some shrubs & my legs were covered in them, easily 20 of those suckers, BE CAREFULL folks.

    Hey Roger, I agree with Chris and Don, that is a good looking IH for these parts. Ticks don't seem to like me...I guess they are a good judge of character
    I only pulled one off me today.

    Thanks guys! The IH must have been in circ a very short time, as the only detail that is faded is "Liberty".

    Yea the ticks were really bad.
