The Illinois boys are coming to Connecticut...it's a midwest invasion!

Are you here yet ? Are you here yet ? Are you here yet ? ����
 
Between the 5 of us we've got the dime grand slam, 2 center, a couple IHCs, War nickle... You know the usual. Where's all the old stuff? :lol:

Not sure what my copper is. It's toasted but I can see the letter H plain as day around the edge. Could be HAL or HRL. Anyway, Dan can you call me or Don? No one knows what the plan is for tomorrow! 314-488-0801.
 
sounds like you boys did very well :cheering:I hope your up for some cellar hole hunting in the morning !:detecting:
 
Dave, I did see that almost look like a defined 'H'. With the left facing bust it was def a KG2. Because I don't have either in my hand right now, I cant remember which had the "NIA" visible and which had the lady Britannia visible. One may be a KG2 Hibernia and one my just be the regular KG2. Or they both are KG2. There is no doubt that I have that it is one or the other and not something else.

So a third KG came up? Nice they were able to get a few LC on their first day. That field was no good to me. I don't know why I grabbed the darn trowel from the car for a big open field. Wait, you are portraying you are fully aware of your actions. No plausible deniability now. :lol:

It's been raining here lately, too. Off and on Sat and Sun and today looks a bit wet. Not only that, but it only seems the open areas are snow free cuz the same town as this field, maybe a 15 min ride, there was still 3"+ worth of snow.

There's 8 In this pic. Must mean it was taken while I was still there. Did Al make it for the first park, but not this field? I can't believe I heard a few were still there until 7p; I was home relaxing by then.

If you ask me it's a right facing bust. That's what it looked like when I seen it out in the field and it still looks right facing to me. I am almost positive I can see a definite chin nose and forehead. I was thinking a KG III. But what do I know? lol

So that about Al getting a 2 center is incorrect. Maybe it was because my worthless token with a nice shield made it into a 2ctr.

Is this because you want a certain someone to win the $50 bet? :lol: When the nose is <, that is left facing. Often when you see a jagged edge and the rounded convex edge, the convex edge is the top back of the head and the jagged edge would be the nose, lips and chin. Easiest way to describe.
