Hey guys its been a little while since I have posted, as some of you know, ive been working vigorously on a 2 story addition on my house and havent been out much, needed a break today so i met up with a few friends at a yard and found a hotspot of wheats and decided to focus on that area, came away with fantastic results for 2 hrs, got 3 roosies, 11 wheats, 2 arcade tokens, and the find of the day a 1962 Franklin half, one on my bucket list! :headbang: since my time is so limited this season so far, I hope to have a few more hunts like this!, thanks for looking and hh!! 20160402_084852.jpg 20160402_084921.jpg 20160402_091254.jpg ben.jpg 20160402_105736-1.jpg shiney.jpg groupshot.jpg
