    Thursday hunt with Jkress

    Well Joe and I were finally able to put together a hunt yesterday. Ted and I took off at 6 am and met up with Joe around 9am. It should've been

    sooner but I went to the wrong park 8/ lol After finally finding Joe and the right place Ted and I were both able to take home a few nice

    keepers. Ted found a 1912 V nickle and some wheaties (not pictured). I came away with 7 wheaties, 4 IH pennies 1881,1884,1898, and a

    1906 <: I was also able to coax out a V nickle of my own! thumbsup01 Mine is a 1905! Plus $3.99 in clad (Also not pictured lol )



    Thanks again to Joe for the invite and for shuffling your schedule to make it happen |) |) I can't hardly wait to meet up with you and

    Ang in a few weeks

    Looking forward to meeting both you and Joe in person. Don't let it snow!

    Great finds!! Nice IH's (I have found very few of those in Iowa ) and the V is an excellent find.

    The 1884 IH looks like it will clean up very nicely. Lots of detail left there.

    Don't forget to mention you had a dyslexic moment when copying my cell number. rofl

    A great day all around. Congrats on a nice handful of early IH's and the V.
