Awesome digs Knorrski. I know we'll have to handicap Bigrig because of his age and all now, but we look forward to checking that neck of the woods with ya! Go ahead and leave a few of the mem cents in the ground for the birthday boy!

hey bigrig"i get no detect,around here"

 

[Lowbatts]

Recently met one of your fellow Hoosiers who works up this way occaisonally. A great detectorist who hit the oldest park in town here, one I've worked frequently though apparently not thouroughly. He found a '38 LC there during some drive-by detecting. Yeeks, I've gotta come down there and make amends. Get some Indy air or water or something. Well there's Dekalb33 and his better half, Target and myself all coming down for some therapy tomorrow. So have fun and stay up late, imbibe yourself mightily! Either we'll need the handicap or the luck, you guys have been doing great Bigrig and Knorrski!

Nice find, knorrski! Jealous is the word I'm looking for, only large cent I've found was one that some kid put on the railroad tracks-started out as memorial and ended up quarter sized. HH and keep bigrig jumpin'

 

[knorrski]

Tell ya what guys at first I didn't know what it was I thought it was a token so when I bought it home look at it better and I almost sh-t myself LOL...*knorrski*
