Hi Everyone!

I know I said I was DONE for the season, but I got the itch and hit the road.

I found not one, but TWO of these beauties today!

Oh, don't get too excited. Here's the rest of it.

This is an 1877 Indiana Head Penny Bank that I found while junking in an old shop. I liked it so much that I bought two that they had. It's 3 inches in diameter, two inches tall and was made in 1975.

What did you expect? There's snow on the ground here and it's around 0 degrees with the wind chill!

Thought I'd jerk your chains!

Happy (warm) Hunting...

I am with you man. I think if we do any hunting around here, it better be inside. I like the sound of a road trip. I am afraid we would have to run 3 or 4 hundred miles south to warm up much. We will tough it out. I just hope the guys down south keep posting so we can remember what things look like. I like your Indians. Still one of my favorite things to find.
