Holy Mother of GOD! That's a Banner find if I ever saw one. Please tell me you'll post this on Today's finds also. We need to get Illinois back up on the board.

Wish I was there to see that puppy come out of the ground after 150 years.

BIG congrat's Mike!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

Mike, that's just beautiful! I know what iffy seated at 10" sounds like What a thrill! HUGE CONGRATS, HIGH FIVES and BOOYAHS for unearthing some real treasure there!!! Someone was really unfortunate to lose that back in the day, but I think you're even more fortunate finding it today.

Congrats again, Mike. We were all thinking Barber as you were pulling it out of the hole. I still can't believe it was a seated. Way to go!

 

[treasurefiend]

Hell yea buddy, awesome job!!!! HeyI don't know if you posted it in the "Todays Finds" yet but if you do I will vote Banner!!!!

 

[Lowbatts]

Yeah Baby, that's what I'm typing 'bout!

Nice going Mike!

 

[Mayo South Elgin]

Way to go! Stand up and take a seat(ed)!

Nice Indian Heads too...

I don't think I'll post what my "iffy signals" resulted in today.
Mainly because after about 16 inches down into one hole I gave up, and the other one was looking the same so I stopped after about 10 inches. The deeper hole may have been right through the middle of a barrel hoop!

WTG and congrats on the big silver. I know the feeling i dug 2 last year !!!!!

007,

Congratulations on your unreal find and for making it to the banner! I cannot imagine what I'd do if I found something like that. Just unreal (not unreale, in which case it would also apply).

wah wah wahhh. Wow, sorry.

lol, congrats again!
