    Okay Jason, I'll fess up. Got three wheaties this morning from the people under the slabs....

    They're still down there mocking my stoic determination, or is it an indifferent perserverance?

    Just a sickness I have, pull slabs, I come by and beep. Gonna mow the lawn then head back over there, pretty sure I missed a pulltab and some mems!

    Maybe I can get some more fake gold coinage! Like I said when I got that first silver of the year early on, it was a curse to start the year off with a peace dollar.

    Some things are too good to be true on some occasions. Back to your regularly scheduled surfing now.

    Too darn hot around here haha.. I swung around the yard the other day for about thirty minutes but the ground was so hard I gave up.
    Hope to get out this weekend a bit..

    managed to get out once in the past two weeks and squeezed out silver #101, another BBQ. Otherwise, busy with work, now back in school (Bachelors of Sciences in Nursing), and this wedding that's coming up in a few weeks. So until the wedding, I doubt I'll be getting out. Hope you're pulling out some goodies though.

    Got out yesterday for a few, an hour of that with Marinedad. Pouched 3 more wheaties,
    Been a slow year for me this year only banked around 20 bucks but the good thing with
    that is most of it was old coins.

    is it magnetic? Maybe it is a meteor?

    Oh man,I wish it was a meteor! It's not magnetic at all,but it has some weight to it and it's definitely some kind of metal..

    Probably lost in the tailings from the old Chicago silver mine up that way. Need to get that thing assayed!
