A cob is on my wish list, an 8 would be the King prize, but too much to hope for where I live. Big congrats, I'm voting banner on this one. Land found examples are pretty rare in my opinion!! Have a drink on me.

Thanks Cru. I never ever thought I would dig one. Most of the cobs I dig are thin and heavily clipped 1 real's. It's been a long time that I dug something that made me shake and I was shaking for a few minutes, lol.
