    A Couple More Hunts in Central Illinois

    I got out Saturday for a few hours. Finds were slow in coming, but I did manage 2 more Indians and a " Marshall Wyatt Earp badge.
    Sunday, I met up with Dave, Noah and Tom ( Hiluxyota) for a little door knocking. Once again, the finds were slow in coming, but I did manage to pull a nice 1916-D Barber quarter.
