    1st hunt in a while

    Been quite awhile since I was able to get out. got myself a new hip in late January and with the not so nice weather, well you get the picture.

    I went to a corn field that I have hunted for years. Managed a totally toasted IH and 4 wheats. Two of the wheats came from around the house, the other two from the field. Wheat's are 48, 36, 25 and 19.

    Also posted a picture of a pin that I got in the field. Don't know the age but I thought that it was weird that the actual pin is still attached.

    It feels good to be able to post some finds.....finally. Thanks for reading and HH

    Nice to see you getting out Al. The fertilizers really kill our coinage. That pin could be a hat pin
