    Another Token and Big Iron!

    Continuing my rehab we went again to the bean field where we have had some luck. And amazingly another "Billies Place" token turned up...this is the third that we have found there, I said to Diane "Maybe this is where Billies Place was located"! Not much else was found except some big iron...literally and figuratively a big Sad Iron which I found the hunt before and a nice Shingle Hatchet this time. After this we went to a cornfield that in the past has given us much but not this time and since my leg was starting to really hurt we called it a day. Was able to go two hours today so every day I hope to be able to stretch it out more.

    No doubt that "Billies place" was a popular hangout with the laborers and nearby , Congrats on the vintage iron and shingle hatchet Tony . Glad to see you getting out still !
