    Memorial weekend 2013 finds

    Hi all, did a 3 night camping trip to Iowa Memorial week end and between the rains got a lot of land hunting in. Hit a few new spots, a few played out old spots and a old spot still giving up goodies. ( a full tank of gas weekend) Got to hunt with my buddy Joe also. Had a great time!!!!

    Silver rings and coins. What more can you ask for? That is a very nice hunt.

    It also sounds like a very fun hunt although I'm not too crazy about the idea of sleeping on the ground. The bones are too old for that. lol

    Wow!... nice silvers Dennis. Great bunch of keepers.

    Are you the guy I saw hunting the field on Rhomberg? I was heading to the grocery store when I noticed a Minelab with Sun Ray swinging.
    I drove around the block and got behind MinelabIowa getting out of his vehicle to chat with you. lol I waived to Joe and moved on.

    Figured it might be Patrick.

    Congrats Dennis.

    Yes, I will next time... I promise.

    So, what of these fine keepers you posted came from the field I've eyed those dirt piles for 4 weeks now. :->

    Let me know the next time you are in town, and tell Joe to give me a call soon.

    Nothing from that spot but I was not there long, the way it was scraped and the rain made it slippery as all get out so I moved on with the other Joe. My next trip that way I will have the other Joe get ahold of yea and we can go silver hunting.

    Just to clear the record ,,I knew there was more silver at the Location Dennis and I hunted and I knew about for years. What goes around comes around. Dennis is very very fair and shares his spots with me too. I had alot of fun watching you pull up those oldies! Super Congrats Dennis!
