Sorry about your Mum. My Dad had Alzheimer's so I know what it's like. But are you sure you're not leaving out the part about the mission for MI6? :rofl:

Here's one of my better side. Caught by my bambi-cam. And one of the summer face.

There isn't much left of the backmark. Here are a couple better pics.

Thanks Dan! I was just informed about the button. This is all the info I have on it.

I did OK in the corn field that's literally across the road from my house. Another 1844 Bank of Montreal Half Penny Token An 1847 Large Cent An 1820 Large Cent drilled to use as a button Some sort of pin (plain back with solder where the pin was) A fancy button w/back mark. A small...

I'm trying to be positive about it Dan, but it's tough sometimes. It was -16°F here last night.

For me it's guns, crossbows, hunting stuff, performance motorcycles/racing, and since I make my living with them horses, anvils, and forges. Some of my stuff is collectable, but for the most part I use them.

After hearing of Angie's year end calamity, and given the tough winter that we're all enduring (stupid cold, tons of snow, frozen/burst pipes, etc...), I often wonder how she and her daughter are doing on getting squared away with new living accommodations. Just moving in weather like this...

Great finds Tony! Any day that a barber is found is a good day in my book. I had to work today. :( And tomorrow is supposed to be cold and very windy.

Hit it again for a little bit today. Pretty chilly out in the open as windy as it was. :frozen: I did a better job the other day than I'd hoped. Today didn't yield much, but I'll still take it. A broken fine suspender clip, an Ox shoe, and a fairly toasted but still readable 1832 Half Cent...

Well, They finally took the beans off the field that I've been wanting to hunt (I'd thought that they had taken them off earlier, but that was a field further down). An 1854 topo map showed how the road had had a dogleg in it to go around a sinkhole, and where it came back into line there had...
