    Another old farm house hunt

    My buddy Earl & I went and checked out a old farm house today, that belongs to some of his family . I had a first for me....YES FINALLY!!! <:
    I also had a few other good finds. Earl didn't seem to do as well. But we plan on going back tomarrow, so hopefully he'll have better luck then.
    Here's the video I shot. There's 2 parts.

    Well glad the whining is finally over lol Nice copper, and look, just add a loop and it's ready for a chain around your neck. Couldn't ask for better thumbsup01 You had a great hunt and found some good coins. Even that presidential token is cool. Probably from Shell Gas and from the 50's/60's. You owe Earl big time rofl
