3 Stooges headed for the fields on a treasure hunt that went for 3 days straight. I must say I am beat, I invited Newt and Wilson 220 up for a few days of Hill Billy hunting. We hit many sites, some rehunts and some new. It was a great time and was good to see friends that I hadn't seen in 3 years.
Where to begin? I've lost track of the days and what was found when. One day I won't forget was my first Capped Bust, :thumbsup: and a short while later my second Half Cent, and later in the day... my first Grooved Axe. Newt dug a Sword Handle, we would like a little help with this find if anyone recognizes it. Check out the finds and happy digging to all.

WoW, alot of History covered in those hunts. I Love the Arrowheads, the Infantry button and all the Great relics. Than you top it off with another Half cent in Ky and find your first well deserved Capped Bust. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

You guys sure were busy. It's nice to see iron from other peoples digs. I really like those hoes. The very common harmonica reed. They are typical here too.
