Square nails means old dirt. Gotta be some good coins mixed in also.

Thanks for the support

Well, the good stuff was poppin' today. Those square nails came out of my wife's Great, Great, Great Grandfather's store. Priceless.

Planting time will be upon us soon. I'll be moving to different digs..literally. I don't know about finding coins out there. Spooky may be right about it being cherry picked, or more likely...I don't know what I'm doing.

That's ok, I'm still having fun. My holes are getting smaller all the time. I'm starting to figure out little tricks with the ACE 150, and someday God willing I'll be able to afford a small upgrade.

But, oh boy...my wife and I think she may have found the rough location of another GGG Grandfather's mill. This summer it'll be time for me to hit the low water and wade the Mackinaw looking for "sign". So if I find an old mill stone 1/2 a mile from a road, I suppose I'm gonna have to be beggin' a farmer to help me drag it out? Aint there an old expression about a mill stone around one's neck? And I'm going lookin' for it.
