    Silver on Black Friday

    Did some park hunting today and walked away with a couple in my pocket.
    Picked up eight Wheat cents as well. It was a good hunt.

    Yes... thanks for the reminder to update. 8/

    Ending the year with 98 IH's... I could reluctantly deal with. But there is no way I want to end with 99. >:{
    This IH might just have me digging into frozen ground for another one. :-\
