Captured - Roosevelt & Lincoln trying to sneak into Canada!

Got out for a couple of hours today to our local beach area. The temperature had dropped overnight to 20F and the ground in the parks refroze. The finds, as you can clearly see, aren't anything spectacular.

But I did manage to catch a couple of guys by the names of 1968D Roosevelt & 1976 Lincoln hiding in the sand. They were obviously trying to sneak into Canada for a taste of our great beer! :laughing7:

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting! :icon_thumright:

No passports needed here Jim, these two guys got in just before the Canada/USA border laws changed! :laughing7:

Thanks very much Scott, the gloves worked great! :icon_thumright:

Would have liked to have stayed out longer, but I made the mistake of answering my cell phone while hunting. :'(

That's right, my wife called and told me "it's time to come home to your family now"! :tongue3:

Good luck on your "ghost town" site.

Ah damnit. There goes the Molson they were going to bring me back for the weekend. Going to have to recruit some more presidents now.

What's so strange about that? :laughing7:

Everybody up here puts either ketchup or gravy and cheese curds on their fries! :laughing9:

At least we don't put mustard on our fries like some people! :tongue3:

Thanks for posting man!

Thanks for posting Bob! The "blue things" are most likely protective metal caps that are put on children's outdoor platground equipment. The name on them is Henderson and they're Canadian makers of playground equipment based in Simcoe, Ontario. :icon_thumright:

We see a lot of American coins in our circulation here, I can't tell you how many wheat's I have saved up in a jar over the past 30 years!

HH Bob!

Just thought you might find this of interest considering your "handle" . . .
we have a number of these squirrels in Humber Park & High Park in Toronto!

Actually I think they were up there for breakfast. They love Canadian bacon and maple syrup. :laughing9:

Thanks MaineRelic, I have to bring my cell with me or my wife then knows for sure that
I'm hiding from her! :laughing9:

I don't think I'll be getting out anytime again soon, as we just got 4" of snow today! :'(

The company I work for is based out of Bangor and I get to my head office about every six months. If I ever get the time, I'd love to go for a hunt in that area, there's a lot of old manufacturing history there from what I've seen. :icon_thumright:
