    Wheatie tree

    Only had a couple hours to play this morning. Hit one area I haven't been to in a longtime, maintaining my frustration level at the weak headphone connection I'm suffereing from until the nearby Radio Shaft opened. Man am I glad I got the Jameco catalog the other day, going shopping for parts....

    Got re-geared (cheapie headphones) and hit the warm spot me and Mayo hit the other day. Got five wheaties under a tree there. '20, '25, '26, '40 and '45 and three medium watch faces. Only one pull tab there. Also got a tiny charm that reads "amer" in script, lost it somewhere between the pouch and the car trunk. Still waiting on the shinies to come forth from this spot.

    Yeah getting there, I can tell the wheaties from the mems about 85% of the time now. Still gotta figure out the IH's and have yet to get it over a real deepie and know it. The merc I got yesterday was 6+ inches but I thought it was gonna be a wheatie, not a shinie.

    I dig anything if it's solid. . . or not (Maybe that's why my shinie to copper ratio is skewed)

    Yeah, I know about the headphones LB.. Mine were out of commission for a month or more.
    Now I can hear everything again.

    WTG on the wheaties. Looks like the F70 is treating you right.
