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

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....

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.
Thanks again Dan. Both, for taking me out this morning, and for IDing my button for me.Hey I didn't know you had the day off today Jim?? I'm planning on an all day cellar hunt on Wednesday with Tim if your interested.

Now I have 3 more buttons that need IDing.

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.
