    Man... I was thinking Memorial, Wheat and IH. You started from the other end of the line.
    I don't think I've heard of anyone hitting a LC, FE and an IH in the same hunt.
    That is an incredible site you have to hunt. I'll bet there are many, many more keepers waiting for you there.
    A big congrats to you. Looking forward to the pictures.

    rofl I was thinking Wheat, Memorial, and Zincoln lol Real nice hunt Spike. Flying Eagles are fun to find. They always seem to show up when you least expect it. I like the design as much as I like Indians. You got some really nice finds from the sound of it
