Golf course still producing...

[MIKE54]

...but the end is getting near. I met up with Al today for another crack at the course. The grass is growing and swinging is tough. We covered a lot of new areas but all I could manage was a 42 Merc, 4 wheats (oldest was 1927) and my second Ballantine beer ball marker. Al got 5 more wheaties in his quest for 1000, I think he needs 13 more. I dug the Buffalo about 2 weeks ago here. The further we venture from the clubhouse, the scarcer the finds get. We've been going there weekly for over two months, and I have to say the 75 mile roundtrip has been worth it every time. Thanks Al!

A 75 mile round trip would be a short one for me. That is a heck of a spot/ Congrats on all the productive hunts and thanks for all the posts. WD

Nice to see you again Mike. Congrats on the silver, you were the hero of the day...

Could you update that total post and I will be in touch when I hear of the roads going in.

Thanks Al, you da man! My up-to date totals are 37 wheats, 1 IHP, 1 undated braided largie, 2 Buffaloes (personal favorite), 18 silvers(8 mercs, 6 Rosie's, 2 Wash quarters, 1 Barber dime and the 1/2 reale for a total of 18 silvers), that nice padlock, 15-20 buckles, 4 rosettes, 1/2 of a crotal bell, 2 fancy buttons, 2 military button, colonial spoon and the Westfield fox hunt tag in 13 hunts. Also found $22 in clad. I calculated I put 940 miles on my car so I need 1 more trip up for 1000. Sound familiar Wheatie Man ? Lol��
