Re: VORTEX/FL HUNT FINDS and PRIZES
Good to meet you too!
And nope, don't know about anyone corralling one of those elusive Buffalos on Sunday. Bridge, Baggins and Scuba were still looking when we left tho.

It was great to meet you and the Mrs. this weekend - a great time for all...
I believe that Baggins and Shiloh each dug one of the infamous "Buffa-no's"...

Re: VORTEX/FL HUNT FINDS and PRIZES
Here are some of my finds, and will post pics of my prizes in a bit.....I found a total of $10.72 in clad, and a total of 234 coins.....some of my oldest pennies were a '46 wheat, '59,'62,'63,'64,'66,'68, and a '70...also found one of the Buffalo nickels....Of course I also found a couple of zipper pulls, and battery terminal, jeans rivet, a small children's' ring, and a frame from some glasses....found a couple of water type filters for a diesel, and an air cleaner top from what looks like an Oldsmobile...Also, Buster says hello to all, and was very sad he could not make the hunt!

Re: VORTEX/FL HUNT FINDS and PRIZES
Here are my prizes from the Florida hunt:
The first was a headlight for nite hunting ( of which the only people who nite hunted were Scrounger, myself, and Shiloh...the "hardcore" hunters!) Next, was this cool hat, for finding one of the hidden Buffalo nickels. I also won a Buffalo nickel, a great 1899 New Orleans minted Morgan Silver dollar, an 1860 San Fran minted Seated Liberty Half dollar, a very cool Bowie knife, and for guessing the mystery guess correctly, Buster and I got a great camping tent for our next hunt! I want to thank all of the people who took the time to donate all of the great prizes, this was an awesome hunt! Tons of great times, food, and as always, great people! Will be posting some random pics from the hunt later today!

Re: VORTEX/FL HUNT FINDS and PRIZES
I'll tell you what Juan, that soil in Florida is like digging in butter, not like the concrete we have here in Texas! My back was pretty sore after all that hunting though! Missed you at the hunt, hope to see you real soon!
Baggins
You were definitely a clad magnet! Sheesh why not the buffalos? lol It was SO good to finally get the chance to meet you and others there and I have to say that is one sexy sexy hat! lol You and Shiloh wear them with pride because none of the rest managed to find any of them.....ScubaBob and Bobby and I left last and still no others found.....sheesh, those are some truly elusive animals!!
