    Really unworthy

    Considering what Don found, what I got on the same day hardly deserves posting but here it is.

    Indian are 1865, 1889 and 1894. The 1865 is toasted compared with the crisp sweet 1889. Soil conditions really make a difference!

    I would take a hunt like that any day! Two SLQs? I think that's awesome! I really like the Pontiac token too and I would like to see both sides of it. Are either of the SLQs a Type I?

    Oh its worthy Dont fool yourself.
    We all can't be like Don. Which is ok too. I'm not sure I'd like the feel of a horseshoe wedged in there like he has.

    Good hunt Tim!
    Congrats!
