I.F.O.'s from OH have good day despite Mother Nature/UPDATED PICS OF TOKEN
I met crazyjarhead up at my honey hole today. The trip up was making me think I must be an "Idiot From Ohio" as some of us in the caving hobby have been called.
When I left Dayton there was barely any snow or ice, but by the time I pulled into the hunt site it was a different story.
We decided to give her a go anyways. The open fields had a couple inches or more of snow and ice which seemed to insulate the ground from last nights arctic temps. Scan the top of the ice, here a signal, stomp the ice and scrape away with your boot was the routine. Ground was easy digging. I scored first with an awesome Union Pacific token from 1934.
That's when we zoomed in on this fairly untouched area. Ron started into an area just inches from where I had changed directions and scored in a big way, I'll let him share his story with you. I found three mercs, 1945, '42 and a '26.
I said to Ron it would be nice to find a silver quarter and not long after, I spied something bigger than a dime shining in my hole.
The take for me was 3 mercs, 1 '45-S quarter, 2 buffaloes(one in the same hole as the '26 merc which gave me a tab reading from most angles), 2 wheats, an awesome token and the usual clad.
