The Maples are starting to lose lots of leaves and the Oaks are just starting to show some nice color. Thanks for looking

Van, did you see my Prostaff 2 in your wanderings? Probably close to the water. I always said I could take up dowsing for a living; just need a nine iron and a golf ball. ;D Neat lookin' course!

That looks like eastern Iowa judging by how the land lays.

I lived in North central Iowa for a year and a half,halfway between Waterloo and Mason City. You can stand on a phone book and get a good look at everything it is so flat. The eastern portion of the state is more of a rolling landscape with caves and trout streams :thumbsup: I may be moving back soon for work, I know of a few places I would love to swing my detector.I was'nt into the hobby when I lived there. Have a good one :coffee2:
 
Your pics, Vangone, are making me homesick. ;D Very nice. Folks there, always took great care to keep it all looking good.
I sure miss the fall season. From the colors up in the Northeast and down to the Raccoon River Valley.
Was born and raised a Hawkeye. Family still scattered all over the state.
Used to go to the dentist in Mason City. That is not a fond memory. >:(
But the sweet corn, ah yes, is not to be beat anywhere else I've ever been. :thumbsup:

Thanks bravo whiskey for your kind words about the pictures and about Iowa. You are sooo right about Iowa Sweetcorn. Until one has tasted it dripping with butter it is hard to imagine anything as good. Goes great with a burger of Iowa Black Angus beef topped with the works and of course home grown Iowa tomatoes.As for the Hawkeyes I am always glued to the TV on Saturday watching them play football. You may know they are 8 an 0 so far this season,what a team The colors of the leaves this year Heres one more from the other day.are not as good as past years but still very beautiful
