    A Couple of hunts with Daddy Digger & Noah

    Wednesday, I met up with Noah to hunt a park after work. It was a very small park, smaller than an average yard, but I did manage to dig an 1880 Indian and a Cub Scout neckerchief slide.

    Friday, Dave drove up from Southern Illinois To a little hunting up here where we've had some rain. I met him after work for a little door knocking. We did three houses. The first house I dug a worn Merc. The second house I dug absolutely nothing.
    the third house was a bit better, I dug a Rosie, A Merc and an 1891 indian.

    Saturday, I met both Dave & Noah. Altough nice coins were being found, I only dug two keepers, a 1923 Buff & a 1935 merc. (plus about a dozen wheats.) I also dug a piece of the largest crotal bell I've ever seen. Intact, this thing would have been the size of a tennis ball.

    All in all it was a great day hunting with friends.
