[cjon455]

Met up with Nepa-Will this morning for some woods hunting, lemme tell ya it was hotter than freakin Bagdad out, and the bugs were terrible, I swear will was trying to kill me lol, lasted a little over an hr and decided jeans, humidity, and bugs weren't a good mix, will had to go home, so i changed into shorts and headed for a permission I tried to secure in may, the lady gave me her number and said call In September, she gladly said yes so I hit it as best I could in the blaring sun and humidity, 1st target was the 43 merc, managed a 1898 barber, 1888 indian, no date buff, a neat agricultural pin, and 13 wheats, lock, and pocketwatch, man I can't wait til fall, there's plenty of more yard left, thanks for looking and hh!!

You killed it Chris! I know what you mean about the heat. It messes up your swing, concentration, and energy level. Considering all you destroyed it

MAN I USED TO BE IN THE FFA . THATS A NEAT FIND AND THE DANG LOCK ALSO...

 

[Slingshot]

Looks like a nice fun filled place to hunt!

Great hunt Chris,
That lock is killer, never seen one like that before.
I know you went right over a few IHs, with the date of them coins.
After you dig all the high tones you clean the rest up
Im sure!!! Lol

 

[mlayers]

Its been so hot and dry here you just can not dig. I hate to dig up someone yard and then leaving and my dig turns brown and then it blows out when they cut the grass.

I remember those FFA pins from my high school days. They were gold tone I believe. Must feel good just to get out.

 

[BigWaveDave]

thanks George, ill admit I kinda cherry picked a bit, it was too darn hot out to be methodical, most of my grounds were in the sun w/o shade!

Thanks, I explained to the homeowner the possibility, she said "psssh, look at the rest of the yard, who cares" lol, made my life easier lol!!!

Nice rusty sheriffs badge

, that red thing?, that's a good luck token that can be personalized in a punch out type machine at amusement parks back in the day

yea, that lock is killer! great digs!

thanks dave, it gave a slammer of a signal, thought I had a silver half or large cent

 

[Gridwalker306]

Nice digs, nice to find some silver. The old padlock is pretty sweet with the little scene on it. Good job!

 

[GioTheGreek]

Haha, hot as hell, I agree. Even here on the East coast...

Great hunt. J Cache.

 

[deershed]

Great day!!

There should be more there waiting for you to return. Maybe before you make that return trip you'll get a couple days of rain to help even more.

 

[against the wind]

Excellent hunt ,, quite the variety.
That looks like a Buffalo Bill lock. lol

 

[pong12211]

Nice finds. Congrats on the silver scores too.

 

[Nepa-Will]

What are you going to tell me come winter. " it's too cold". Wish I could have stayed out, but the only bucket list I was working on was the one the wife gave me. Glad you were able to turn the day around. Great finds! The lock is awesome

 

[thrifty76now]

A lot of great finds posted there . And some time ago I found a huge sterling silver ring associated with the future farmers of America the FFA.
