pulled some nice keepers this morning on my day off. my 3rd LC of the year and nicest in condition. My first Canadian LC. (1918) Two Shields stuck together in one hole! (1867, 1874) plus an 1896 V that was a nice surprise too. The 1881 IH looked toasted at first but peroxide took most of it off. Also, another first....2 rings stuck together! you can see in the dirty pic before I removed the small gold plated one from the inside of the big silver ring. not sure what I have with the #32 on it but I took a pic of the back in case anybody can ID it. Found some neat relics too. The nice old fella that lived at one of the places gave me the horseshoe, the hood latch and the window turner that he had found around the yard. Anyway it was a beautiful day out and had a great time. Thanks for looking all HH, Griff

Gotta say you nailed those yards PG! Silver was probably cherry-picked long ago, and someone missed the oldies. Congrats again on the awesome lc and shields, nice V too!
