Forino wanted to get out on one last hunt before he goes to Florida on a 2 week vacation. He picked me up at 8am and temps were at 7 degrees above zero :tard: we pondered at the thought of bailing out of the hunt :icon_scratch: I said "Mike we gotta live up to our hardcore reputation here..Lets' do this! " :laughing7: so we were off! when the sun got higher and hit 25 it felt almost like spring compared to the early morning.
Was easy diggin in the woods still thank God! I got a 1906 IH,a horse buckle a few brass scraps,a bunch of old headstamps and a very nice CW Artillery eagle button.no pushes,almost full gilt,complete shank and a clear backmark.a nice start to 2012.
I see horstmann bros & drucker
my says sons?
