Ill Digger

I got a chance to get out and hunt with a few forum members this week and was able to dig up a few goodies thumbsup01

Wednesday I got out with Marinedad, Mark, and a friend Ted. We went to a few spots Mark had picked out. My first good finds came from a late 1800's farm house. I was able to find 2 wheats, a 44 Merc and a 1903 IH thumbsup01. Next Mark took us to an old school that's been turned into the city building. There I was able find a couple more wheats, Merc #2 for the day, a 1919 happydance02.

Sunday I got out with Ted, Earl, Mark, Mike & Rob for another group hunt at a park Mike had picked out. We knew that we had a chance of rain on and off all day. But we didn't know it would down pour on and off every 20 minutes all day ?!! >:\ :mad: >:\ :mad: >:\ :mad: :crying02:
We finally gave in after about 4 hours of running for the pavilion constantly lol But before we left I was a able to add a few more silvers and wheats to my 2011 total.

Today I found three Mercs 1937, 40, and 43. And added 5 more wheaties to the pile!! :happydance01:
