    Looks like it was worth braving to cold temps Don! Do you have snow yet? I bet if Noah hadn't come around you would have stayed in bed! LOL. Love the thimble and the token from the 1893 Columbian Exposition. Can't wait to see what you find next. Happy hunting my friend.

    If we could’ve gotten a few more yeses, could’ve been an epic day. But it’s hard to get yeses with no one answering the door LOL! You did well though buddy. ��
